Capital projects: Crystal Lake public health building on track for February; coroner project pace depends on refrigeration delivery
Summary
Facilities staff reported steady progress on the Crystal Lake public health project with an expected February completion, and described ongoing demolition and trench work for the coroner’s project with refrigeration equipment delivery affecting the schedule; a chiller replacement RFP is due next week.
County facilities staff told the Administrative Services Committee on Oct. 8 that the Crystal Lake public health facility renovation is progressing on schedule for a February completion, while the coroner’s facility renovation is in an active demolition phase and its finish date depends on delivery of refrigeration equipment.
A facilities representative said interior finishes at the Crystal Lake site are underway — taping, acoustical ceilings and painting — and the parking lot has been paved and striped. “The building looks nice,” the speaker said, and contractors are coordinating with staff to limit disruption. The project remains on track for a February completion date.
At the coroner’s project, staff reported trenches cut for new plumbing, a new restroom, and a cooler/freezer area; concrete work will follow once plumbing is installed. Facilities staff said the ability to meet a late‑December target depends on timely delivery of refrigeration equipment through the general contractor and local subcontractors.
The committee was also told a chiller‑replacement procurement for Valley High is due next Wednesday; staff will evaluate initial cost, longevity and energy consumption and forward recommendations to the operating board and finance.
No formal action was taken; staff will continue to monitor schedules and report back on any material schedule or budget changes.
