Lucas County approves $9.18 million courthouse façade GMP amendment, authorizes HVAC replacement bids for EMS building
Summary
The Board approved a $9,181,435 guaranteed maximum price amendment with Berglund Construction for Lucas County Court of Common Pleas façade work and authorized advertising bids for rooftop HVAC replacement at the county EMS building (engineer estimate $200,000 base; $60,000 alternate).
The Lucas County Board of Commissioners approved two Facilities Department projects on April 14: a guaranteed maximum price (GMP 1) amendment with Berglund Construction Company for exterior façade renovations at the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas and authorization to advertise bids to replace rooftop HVAC units at the county EMS building.
Jeff Nowak (speaker 11) said the GMP 1 for the courthouse façade is $9,181,435 — below the earlier estimate — and that Berglund, acting as construction manager at risk, solicited bids for packages and expects to self‑perform some work under contract terms. He said the project has been under investigation and design for about three years and is ready to move forward.
Nowak also presented a request to advertise for replacement of three aged rooftop heating and cooling units at 2144 Monroe St.; the engineer's estimate for the base bid covering three units is $200,000, with a $60,000 alternate to add a fourth unit. Both items were approved by the board.
Procurement steps: the board authorized advertising for the HVAC contract; the GMP amendment with Berglund authorizes construction under the terms presented. No additional financing detail beyond the GMP was provided in the meeting record.
Next steps: Facilities will solicit bidders for the HVAC work per the authorization and proceed under the GMP amendment with Berglund for the courthouse façade.
