Hall County OKs $27,850 moisture remediation, approves courthouse change orders and camera bid
Summary
The board approved Environmental Direct’s remediation quote of $27,850 for a moisture issue in the County Attorney’s building, accepted a $14,002.89 bid for a new camera/recording system, and approved construction change orders and a $57,005.46 credit related to jury box seating on the courthouse project.
Hall County commissioners approved several construction and facilities-related actions during the meeting.
Moisture remediation: Staff presented remediation quotes for the County Attorney’s building and the board voted to accept the Environmental Direct quote for remediation of one floor at $27,850. Board discussion focused on whether to replace insulation or clean it; staff recommended removing and replacing contaminated insulation where necessary and using commercial-grade dehumidifiers to manage humidity.
Courthouse change orders and furniture: The board approved change order number 9 (which included annex paving, sidewalk and lighting adjustments for a Sally Port) and accepted a contract change proposal to remove fixed courtroom cherry box seating from the supplier’s scope; that removal generated a credit to the county of approximately $57,005.46 and the county will buy seating separately. Votes on some construction items were recorded with mixed tallies (for some items 5 yes/2 no as noted in the record).
Camera/recording system: Commissioners accepted a bid to improve the meeting-recording and camera system, a bid amount recorded as $14,002.89, and approved proceeding with the installation.
The board also authorized advertising for bids to repair a handicap ramp at the Administration Building with a May 18 bid due date and May 19 consideration. These construction and procurement decisions were recorded with motions and votes during the meeting.
