Commission authorizes $476,660 HVAC phase and approves courthouse change order
Summary
Commissioners approved a $441,352 HVAC project for the courthouse third floor plus $35,308 in engineering fees (total $476,660.16) funded from SPLOST and approved change order #10 for masonry and terracotta repairs, authorizing the chairman to sign necessary documents.
County staff presented the next phase of the courthouse renovation: a third‑floor HVAC replacement estimated at $441,352 with additional engineering fees of $35,308.16 (combined $476,660.16). Staff said funding would come from SPLOST, with engineering fees charged to the general fund; the county has authorization to borrow from the general fund and repay from SPLOST if timing requires.
Commissioners discussed contingency balances and a related change order (number 10) to address tuck‑pointing, brick replacement and terracotta band repairs on the south and east elevations. Staff clarified the remaining contingency and reconciled a typo in the packet before the board voted to approve the HVAC phase and the change order and to allow the chairman to sign required contract amendments.
No separate detailed funding motion was recorded beyond the authorization to proceed and to sign. Staff said additional design work for first‑floor HVAC will be solicited and returned to the board for approval when price items are finalized.
