Commissioners award courthouse remediation contract and approve change orders for restoration
Summary
The board approved a remediation contract for the courthouse third floor and bell tower (award to Penco/Pinko, not to exceed $167,000), and approved change orders for structural column repair ($8,310) and exterior painting ($5,900); staff flagged lead-abatement work required before painting.
County staff presented three bids for remediation of the courthouse third floor and bell tower and recommended awarding the work to Penco (referred to in the record as "Pinko") because of remediation experience and an existing master agreement that includes rework if clearance protocols fail. The board approved the award, with a not-to-exceed amount recorded as $167,000 and funding from SPLOST/contingency.
Separately, commissioners approved change order #13 for repair of a damaged column on the north elevation ($8,310) and change order #14 to paint exterior handrails, light poles and doors ($5,900), to be paid from the courthouse contingency fund. Staff noted that lead paint remediation will be required before exterior painting and that lead-abatement quotes are being obtained.
The board also discussed minor landscaping and pressure-washing tasks to complete the courthouse exterior once restoration is finished; staff said exterior work is targeted for completion in August and that a local landscape architect offered to provide a pro bono plan.
