Findlay supervisors confront doubled garage quote for Recreation & Sports Complex, consider pole‑barn alternative
Summary
Manager Tom Garrett told the board a three‑bay garage quote rose from $74,900 in October to $155,000 because of material cost increases; the project budget is $99,500 and Supervisor Raymond Chappell suggested a pole‑barn alternative estimated at about $48,000 with Public Works pouring the floor.
Manager Tom Garrett reported the October quote for a three‑bay garage at the Recreation & Sports Complex was $74,900 but the current quote is $155,000 "due to increases in materials," while the board had budgeted $99,500 for the project. Supervisor Raymond Chappell suggested a pole barn alternative that Mr. Garrett estimated would cost in the $48,000 range with Public Works pouring the flooring.
The board requested Mr. Garrett to continue reviewing options but emphasized maintaining quality. No procurement decision was made at the workshop; the quotes and options will require follow up before the board moves forward.
