HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Board of County Commissioners will continue the process of getting ready to renovate the District Attorney, District Courts, Information Technology, Human Resources, and County Administration portions of the interior of the Courthouse as part of its agenda on Tuesday.
On that agenda is approval of bid documents to be distributed for the remodel with the goal to accept a bid before the end of the year. No price tag for that approval was listed in the agenda documents.
Also, the 5th floor roof sections of the courthouse are nearing end of life, and took a beating during the current repairs to the dome area of the building.
The county budgeted for replacing the 20 year old Health Dept. roof in 2022, but staff has determined this roof is still in good condition and should last a few more years.
The recommendation is to redirect those budgeted funds toward replacing the courthouse 5th floor sections, along with a small section on the south face, third floor, and the section over the north entrance ramp area in preparation for the interior renovations.
The agreement on the roof would be with GLMV Architecture in the amount of $9,750.00.
In addition, the bid documents would be prepared over the next couple of months for the recommended limestone façade anchors that Engelland Construction has advised would be prudent to fix with the project going out to bid early in 2023.
That agreement would also be with GLMV in the amount of $6,000.00.
The Commission will also look at competing proposals from iParametrics and Loyd Group to consult with them on the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) federal grant from the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). The iParametrics proposal would be at a cost not to exceed $300,000. Loyd Group's cost would be not to exceed $472,061.
Also on the agenda is the annual update from Reno County District Attorney Tom Stanton where he will go over his budget request for the coming year.
Commissioners will also look at a proposal from SJCF Architecture for a Reno County Needs Assessment and Masterplan for county buildings at a not to exceed cost of $45,000.
The Board of County Commissioners will meet in the County Commission Chambers at the Reno County Courthouse Tuesday at 9 a.m.
