County staff recommend nearly $950,000 budget for Civic Center reroof and exterior repairs
Summary
Staff recommended awarding a reroof contract to Watertight Roofing Services ($578,500) and exterior restoration to Garland Company ($298,959), and requested a project budget amendment of $947,459 including $70,000 contingency; staff said the school board will cover 50% of the cost.
County staff told commissioners Jan. 27 that the Oconee County Civic Center has longstanding roof leaks and recommended two specialized contracts to complete a reroof and exterior restoration.
The county recommended awarding RFP 2611008 to Watertight Roofing Services for a contract not to exceed $578,500 and hiring Garland Company for exterior restoration at $298,959. Staff requested a budget amendment for the project in the amount of $947,459 for the project life, which includes a $70,000 contingency.
A commissioner asked whether the local school board would share the expense; staff said the school board would be responsible for 50% of the cost and has been notified and plans to use ELO (education local option sales tax) funds for their share.
What was said: A county presenter explained that "the Civic Center has leaked throughout its existence" and recommended proceeding to reroof and restore the exterior after multiple prior repairs. Staff provided contract amounts and contingency figures during the presentation.
Next steps: Staff indicated the item could be included on the consent agenda for final approval; commissioners asked no substantive changes beyond cost-share clarification with the school board.
