# Facilities - October 6 2026 - Champaign County

The Champaign County Facilities Committee met October 6, 2026. The committee approved a motion to award a contract under ITB 2026005 for a courthouse project; the transcript identifies five bidders, all below the county’s estimate, but does not name the selected vendor or state the award amount. Members expressed support for moving the project forward. The committee also received project updates: the JDC door and window work was about 85% complete, the IS air-handler work about 90% complete, and abatement for a select-demolition project was expected to finish around October 14 before the next work phase. Courthouse work, including a digital upgrade, was reported ahead of schedule, and staff were developing a plan for the vacant downtown jail.

The committee reviewed community-solar savings of approximately $31,000 for August, with a possible additional $3,500 credit still being investigated. Staff said the arrangement involves a third party and that more information about how the program works would be brought to a future meeting. Payment terms for facilities staff performing related project work were also still under negotiation, including whether hourly rates would apply or the work would be covered under an SLA.
