County considers $9.68 million contract for Performing Arts Center support facility
Summary
County staff presented a $9,684,000 construction contract award for a Performing Arts Center (PAC) support facility; commissioners moved the item to debate rather than approve it on consent, and no final vote was recorded.
Columbia County staff presented a recommended award of the construction contract for a Performing Arts Center support facility to RW Allen for $9,684,000, with a contract completion deadline of 425 days.
The project would add storage and support space adjacent to the PAC; staff said the facility was planned after the PAC opened and early operations showed a shortfall in storage and support functions. Bids were received July 17 and staff recommended approval of the low responsive bid.
During the meeting the item was removed from consent and moved to the debate agenda so a commissioner who planned to abstain could do so on the record. Commissioners discussed abstention but no formal award vote was recorded in this session. Staff described the project as having been designed in coordination with Community Services and the PAC manager to meet operational needs.
No changes to the project scope, funding source, or alternate bidders were presented during the discussion. The presenter said the county received a good set of bids and expected construction to follow the documents submitted in the solicitation.
Because the commission moved the contract award to debate, the formal approval will appear on a later agenda or at a subsequent roll-call vote; no final action is recorded in these minutes.
