Grant County board hears estimate for courthouse air-handler replacement, seeks more bids for HVAC and server
Summary
County staff presented options to repair or fully replace the courthouse air handler and shared a vendor quote for a new courthouse server; commissioners directed staff to obtain additional quotes and noted a possible energy-efficiency grant to help fund HVAC work.
County staff on Jan. 8 presented the Grant County Board of Commissioners with options for replacing the courthouse air handler and a separate quote for a new courthouse server, and the board directed staff to get additional bids before moving forward.
Matthew Hills presented an estimate for the courthouse air-handler replacement, outlining two choices: attempt to repair the current, outdated system or replace it with a new unit. Hills flagged the age and obsolescence of the existing equipment as the rationale for considering replacement. Commissioners asked for another quote to compare options and noted a possible energy-efficiency grant that could offset replacement costs.
County Auditor Sara Meier presented a vendor quote for a new courthouse server. Meier told the board she would contact other vendors to obtain additional quotes before the county makes a procurement decision. The minutes record these items as matters the board will continue to consider rather than decisions made at the Jan. 8 meeting.
Next steps: staff will solicit additional HVAC and IT bids and return with more detailed cost comparisons and any grant-application information relevant to an energy-efficiency program.
