PBA advisory: ICB remodel to use static concrete/steel repairs; board seeks firm costs and presentation

During the PBA advisory portion of the Jan. 27, 2026 meeting, Bill, the owner's representative, told the board the ICB remodel team evaluated two repair approaches and chose a static structural repair (concrete wrap with steel) over epoxy injection because the injection option carried too many variables and lacked a finite cost.

Bill said both repair approaches produced estimates "in excess of 1000000 dollars." Board members pressed for a presentation by the architect, engineers, the construction manager and Bill White to show the discovered column and beam failings, the repair approach for beams and columns, and concrete cost estimates. "We need to have numbers certain," a board member said, and asked that those specialists lay out examples and pricing before the board approves further work.

Bill said the architect and engineer will finish the design and that the county is working on pricing and bids. He estimated the structural column repairs would take about 14 to 16 weeks after materials arrive — roughly a four-month construction window — and later clarified that the forecasted completion for the larger repair scope is expected in June 2027 after earlier estimates were revised due to discovered deficiencies.

A motion to receive the PBA owner's representative report was made and approved by voice vote; the transcript shows only 'Aye' responses and does not include a numeric roll-call tally. The board directed staff to arrange the requested presentation once numbers are available; members remarked that either waiting for firm numbers or receiving a presentation at the next meeting would be acceptable.

What's next: Staff will coordinate a multi-party presentation that includes the architect and engineers and will provide updated bids and a confirmed construction timeline before the board takes any additional formal action on structural repairs.
