Staff Summary
* The current Lake County Department of Public Works administrative building does not adequately meet the needs of the department. This project installs a sprinkler system to bring the entire building up to current life safety standards, modernizes the heating, ventilation, and cooling system to improve the efficiency, and adds 2,393 square feet of new administrative office space to improve the functionality of the building.
* The County received bids from ten contractors for a total construction cost for the project ranging from $1,744,500 to $2,304,000.

* The accepted bid amount exceeds the FY25 budget primarily due to the necessity of adding fire suppression throughout the entire building and previously unforeseen HVAC improvements.
