County to seek bids for new First Tee clubhouse; staff cites building decay and program usage
Summary
Staff asked permission to advertise bids for a ~2,000 sq ft replacement clubhouse for the First Tee program, citing a rotting crawlspace and steady program use (staff and the program estimated 250–300 kids served annually).
County staff requested approval to move forward with a hard‑bid solicitation to construct a roughly 2,000‑square‑foot replacement clubhouse for the First Tee program behind the Mike Daniel Recreation Center.
A First Tee representative told commissioners the program serves roughly 250 to 300 kids a year and draws players from the city, county and surrounding counties. "We service within the program, we service about 250 to 300 kids a year," the representative said. Staff described the existing clubhouse as a converted house with a waterlogged crawl space and recommended building a comparable stick‑built facility on an adjacent pad so the program can continue operations during construction.
Staff estimated construction costs in the mid‑$200,000s before bonding and noted state law requires payment and performance bonds on projects above the bonding threshold; the board agreed to take the item up at the evening meeting for formal action.
