Supervisors authorize Farnsworth Group to seek bids for courthouse roof replacement
Summary
The board approved moving forward with the Farnsworth Group to prepare bid documents for a courthouse roof replacement after hail damage; the architect's fee is 7.8% of the project cost and work will be funded through insurance proceeds and the county general fund as needed.
The Page County Board of Supervisors authorized the county to contract with the Farnsworth Group to prepare design and bid documents for a courthouse roof replacement project following storm and hail damage.
County staff explained the procurement plan and schedule: design work in April and May, public bidding in June, possible construction start in August, substantial completion in November and final completion in December. The board discussed insurance proceeds, deductibles already paid, and that the architect fee to prepare the bid package is 7.8% of the project cost. Board members and staff noted the courthouse is historic, that copper roofing was installed in a prior restoration and that contemporary options such as standing-seam metal roofing will be considered during the bid process.
Board members approved a motion to proceed with the Farnsworth Group contract to prepare bids. Staff said the architect fee will be paid from insurance proceeds or the county general fund as needed and that bids will permit the county to compare different materials and cost options. County officials emphasized the practical need to move quickly to limit further interior water damage and to protect electronics and court functions while final design and bids proceed.
