County authorizes advertising for county-building window glazing bids amid $11M replacement estimate
Summary
Physical Assets was authorized to advertise for window glazing bids; staff warned DLZ may need an extra week to finalize specs and noted an estimate that full window replacement could exceed $11 million, prompting questions about energy ROI.
The Board authorized staff to advertise bids for window glazing at the county building, with advertisements planned for the Mishawaka Enterprise and the South Bend Tribune and a contingency to push ad dates one week if DLZ needs additional time to finalize specifications.
Bree Roberts said the work would remove existing single-pane storm glazing from interior curtain framing, apply interior glazing film, and possibly reinstall single-pane storm glazing; she also said DLZ cautioned the team may need to investigate heat-trapping between panes. A commissioner noted staff had estimated replacement costs "north of $11,000,000" and questioned the payback for taxpayers; staff said advertisements would proceed with a one-week adjustment available by addendum if needed.
