Facilities Management honored; county plans waterproofing and window reglazing project for central building
Summary
Dougherty County proclaimed May 12–16 Facilities Management Appreciation Week and Facilities Management staff briefed commissioners on a planned design-phase project to reglaze and waterproof a county building’s exterior, including window and seal replacement; staff expects to put documents out to bid within six months.
Dougherty County Facilities Management accepted a proclamation May 12 designating May 12–16, 2025, as Facilities Management Appreciation Week and used the occasion to brief commissioners on upcoming capital work and ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
Facilities Management Director (presenter name given in transcript as the facilities director) told commissioners the division maintains approximately 1,300,000 square feet of county buildings, representing about $400 million in county assets, and highlighted staff roles across custodial, building-superintendent and maintenance positions. The director asked the board to recognize the work performed daily by the division.
During questions from commissioners, the director said the department is advancing a waterproofing and reglazing project for a county central building whose exterior glazing and seals have deteriorated. The work would replace windows and seals and address water intrusion; the department is in the design phase with a contractor and expects to advertise bid documents within approximately six months.
Staff also offered other operations and staffing updates: the division listed current custodial and superintendent staff by building; a facilities superintendent said the department coordinates extensively with Elections/Voter Registration, libraries and emergency services on building maintenance and operations.
Commissioners thanked the Facilities Management staff and asked for timeline details; staff reiterated the intent to bid the reglazing/waterproofing project after design completion and will return with procurement documents and estimated costs.
