Summary
The board authorized two professional agreements: an MEP/structural analysis for the Miami County Courthouse ($26,800) and an environmental site assessment including asbestos, air and mold testing ($7,715).
The Miami County Board of County Commissioners authorized two agreements aimed at advancing a facilities study for the county courthouse.
Matt Alert, project manager, presented RFP 2025-11 for an engineering analysis of mechanical, electrical and plumbing and structural systems and recommended the county enter an agreement with Paris/Ferris Engineering for $26,800 to assess current condition and capacity. He said the analysis will inform discussions about expansion and rehabilitation of the courthouse.
The board also approved RFP 2025-12, an environmental site assessment with Professional Environmental Engineers for $7,715 to include asbestos, air-quality and mold testing and hazardous materials review. Staff said the assessments follow a larger needs study to fully vet options for courthouse work.
Both motions passed unanimously after brief discussion and formal seconding by commissioners.
