Committee advances park restroom, fire station and vice unit design awards totaling several hundred thousand dollars
Summary
Columbia County staff recommended awarding contracts including a construction contract to Summers Construction LLC for park restroom projects ($853,165), an architecture/design contract for Fire Station 13 ($260,650), and a design contract for a new Vice and Narcotics Unit facility (design at 8.5% of project budget); all items were moved to consent.
Mr. Pra presented multiple capital and design items to the Management and Internal Services Committee on May 12. Staff recommended awarding a construction contract to Summers Construction LLC for two restroom projects — one at Evanstown Center Park and one at the Racket Center — at a low bid of $853,165 to be funded through park upgrade funds (SPLASS project 1722). The restroom work includes an accessible restroom near pickleball courts and provisions to support a planned ice-skating rink.
Mr. Pra also recommended selecting "Craig Gen Davis Architecture and PPK" (as transcribed) for professional services to design a Fire Station 13 replacement, with a recommended contract amount of $260,650 and an expected design/bid timeline that aims to go to bid by the start of next year. Separately, staff recommended a contract with Booker Vic Architects to design a new Columbia County Vice and Narcotics Unit office building; Mr. Pra said the current facility is over 50 years old and the design contract is proposed at 8.5% of the project budget with designs expected by year end.
All items were placed on the consent agenda and advanced; the transcript does not record roll-call results or detailed vote tallies.
What’s next: staff will finalize contracts and proceed with design and permitting schedules, and return with procurement documentation as required.
