Dodge County’s Building Committee approved a $154,450 low bid from Sun Mechanical to replace the courthouse rooftop chiller at its April 2, 2026 meeting.
Chair Jody Steger presided as committee members voted to accept the bid after a motion by Randy Vande Zande, seconded by Todd Ringle; the minutes record that the motion carried (tally not specified). The approval covers replacement of the courthouse rooftop chiller to restore or improve the building’s HVAC capability.
The vote follows facilities staff discussion of recent chiller issues. John Nehls, Director of Physical Facilities, reported that Johnson Controls reviewed documentation on the chiller and concluded the problem was not a warranty issue; the minutes record that Kim Nass will draft a written response on that determination. The committee also received the 2026 facilities budget during the meeting; the minutes note the budget was provided but do not specify which line item will fund the project.
Committee members did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes for the chiller motion; the minutes state only that the motion carried. The committee set its next meeting for May 7, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. and adjourned at 4:31 p.m.
