Northfield approves AIA design‑builder agreement with S & S Interiors for police expansion and new village hall
Summary
Council unanimously authorized a standard AIA Owner and Design‑Builder Agreement with S & S Interiors, Inc. to construct Phases 1B and 2 of the Police Department expansion and a new Village Hall and administration building. Council suspended the three‑reading rule and approved the contract at the Aug. 27 meeting.
Northfield — The Village of Northfield Council on Aug. 27 authorized a design‑builder construction agreement with S & S Interiors, Inc. to complete Phases 1B and 2 of the Police Department expansion and to build a new Village Hall and administration building.
Resolution No. 2025‑45 authorizes the Mayor to enter into a standard AIA Owner and Design‑Builder Agreement with S & S Interiors, Inc. Council moved to suspend the three‑reading rule and adopted the emergency resolution by unanimous roll‑call vote (Hebebrand; Noack; Vojtush; Magistrelli; Hipps; Lewis).
Council and staff described preconstruction steps still pending, including completion of civil site drawings for Phases 1B/2 and obtaining asbestos survey results and any required abatement before the Village Hall demolition. Engineer Daniel Collins said the civil drawings are complete and that demolition is the next major step; he also noted coordination on a fire hydrant relocation with Cleveland Water.
Why it matters: The agreement moves the village from design to construction for both public‑safety and administrative facilities, a multi‑phase project that will reshape the municipal campus and create new public facilities.
What happens next: With the agreement authorized, staff will proceed with contract execution, required permitting, demolition (pending asbestos survey results), and contractor mobilization. Council did not provide a project budget breakdown in the meeting minutes.
