At its Dec. 17 meeting, the State Building Commission approved a broad package of maintenance, repair and minor capital projects across state agencies and the University of Wisconsin system. The approvals were unanimous in the full commission roll call, with subcommittee tallies recorded where applicable.
Notable approvals included: - Department of Health Services: authorization to release $12,432,900 SEG REV and construct multiple projects (CWC Building 6 roof and envelope; MMHI Lorenz Hall roof; SRSTC shower room renovation; SWC food service cook/chill system replacement; SRSTC fire alarm system upgrades). The DHS total listed in the meeting materials was $12,514,900 with funding line-item amounts noted in the record. - University of Wisconsin 2025-27 Minor Facilities Renewal Program Group 1: release of $7,395,000 GFSB for GBY instructional services roof/plaza deck waterproofing and replacement; Commission approved release and construction authority. - State Fair Park: Expo Center HVAC Replacement, Phase II, for $2,999,500 SEG REV. - Multiple All Agency projects across facilities (boiler replacements, parking lot repairs, roof replacements, parking ramp structural repairs) with combined SEG REV and federal/PR-CASH funding totaling multi-million-dollar amounts as listed in the record.
Representative Jill Billings, Senator Brad Pfaff and other members moved and seconded respective requests during the meeting; motions carried and were recorded with subcommittee tallies (commonly 3-0-1 when noted) and full-commission tallies of 8-0-0. The Commission also approved release of $1,500,000 of the DNR Stewardship allocation to the Small Project Program for All Agency projects.
These approvals give state agencies authority to proceed with specified repairs and replacements and allow the Division of Facilities Development to adjust individual project budgets as needed. The meeting minutes record the approvals; they did not contain extensive discussion of individual project scopes beyond budget and funding line items.
