County updates courthouse security grant, window and siding work; metal siding bid comes in at $17,250
Summary
County property management reported on a DOJ grant with $32,000 remaining, window replacements scheduled for March 1, 2023, and a metal-siding bid of $17,250; staff also reported continued LED conversions and possible roof work at UW campus and Pine Valley trail grant exploration.
County property management reported progress and costs Thursday on several courthouse and county building projects, including federally funded security upgrades, window replacements, metal siding work and preliminary roof-repair estimates for a university campus structure.
Cheryl (administrative assistant) told the committee that the DOJ grant (originally $150,000) has an approximate $32,000 remaining balance and that windows in the register of deeds office are scheduled for replacement with the contractor completing the project by March 1, 2023, with a 10% contingency built into the budget.
Cheryl also reported that Interstate Roofing’s bid to replace deteriorated metal siding came in at $17,250 and that the company hoped to perform the work the following week; the committee heard that county staff will follow up with contractor scheduling.
Superintendent Randy Nelson briefed the committee on an LED conversion project that has replaced fixtures in the jail and is moving through lobbies and the courtroom floor; he said the work should largely finish within a couple of months.
Staff also updated the committee on preliminary estimates for the UW campus Coppertop roof work; initial figures for full roof replacement exceeded $200,000, while addressing the main flat section and dampers looked closer to $150,000 plus $10,000 for dampers. The committee discussed routing the recommendation to finance and personnel or capital projects based on the final scope and costs.
In other property notes, staff said they are exploring trail and kayak/boat-launch grant opportunities tied to a potential Pine Valley Farm land swap and lease; no formal decisions were made during the meeting.
The committee took no formal vote on these individual maintenance items beyond acknowledging contractor selections and scheduling plans; staff will continue procurement and return with final contract and budget requests where required.
