Commissioners approve $95,000 courthouse window replacement; ask for ramp cost comparison and printer contract review
Summary
The board accepted a $95,000 quote from Glass of Wabash to replace first-floor courthouse windows using Rainy Day Fund money, asked for a cost comparison on installing one versus two handicap ramps (estimated $50,000–$100,000 for a second ramp), and requested a purchase-vs-lease comparison for a proposed 41-printer Sharp contract ($124,700 purchase vs. $2,766/month lease).
The board voted 3-0 to accept a $95,000 quote from Glass of Wabash to replace all first-floor courthouse windows, citing leaks and drafts. Commissioners asked staff to verify earlier work after a note that four first-floor windows had been replaced in 2024.
Janice Hughes requested the board compare installing one versus two handicap ramps; she said the second ramp would be primarily aesthetic and estimated an additional cost of $50,000–$100,000. Jim Deniston presented a Sharp proposal to replace 41 printers and copiers with a purchase price of $124,700 or a lease option of $2,766 per month. The board asked for a detailed purchase-versus-lease comparison and directed that the contract be reviewed by Attorney Mark Frantz before execution.
