CIB authorizes roof assessment for Indiana Theatre; consultant bid package to follow
Summary
The Capital Improvement Board approved hiring a moisture-management contractor to perform roof field measurements and prepare bid documents for the Indiana Theatre roof assessment at a cost of $21,850, the first step before any roofing contract is awarded.
The Vigo County Capital Improvement Board authorized staff to hire a moisture-management and roof-assessment firm to examine the Indiana Theatre roof and prepare bid documents, a due‑diligence step estimated to cost $21,850.
Board members described the engagement as step one in a three‑part process. The selected firm will perform field measures and “crawl around” the roof to create an accurate CAD drawing and budget estimate. If the board later approves construction, the firm would prepare bid documents and could provide construction‑period observation to verify installation meets the specifications. Board members and staff described the theatre roof as complex; the engagement will help determine exact repair scope and cost before the CIB decides on any construction contract.
The board approved the request by voice vote after a member moved to authorize the procurement; staff said the firm would take about two months to complete the assessment and that, depending on results, work might not occur until 2026. The motion authorizes the due‑diligence assessment only; any subsequent roofing contract would come back to the board for approval.
