# 10/21/2026 Committee Meetings - County Facilities

The Warren County Facilities Committee meeting on October 21, 2026, discussed a new term HVAC contract, with bids due November 3. The contract will add refrigeration service—including repairs to walk-in coolers and freezers—to the existing HVAC scope. It will be an as-needed agreement priced by labor rates, including journeyman, apprentice, and refrigeration technician rates; no total expenditure was specified. The committee approved moving the contract item forward. Members also discussed a proposed regional morgue serving five counties, with an estimated construction cost of roughly $30–35 million and a possible population-based cost share; no county commitment or spending approval was made.

The committee approved an amendment extending the development and construction end date for the Northern Gateway Renewables lease to December 15, due to a National Grid connection issue. The county expects contractual lease revenue from its gateway renewable-energy projects, including an upcoming payment of about $20,000 and discussion of annual revenue increasing from about $65,000 to $86,000. Members also approved transferring funds from salary savings to the airport electricity account to cover higher utility costs; the transfer amount was not stated, and a 10.5% countywide utility-cost savings is expected beginning January 1. Airport staff reported that the Northern Apron and Taxiway Bravo reconstruction is planned in two phases, with an estimated $3.15 million project cost and 90% FAA, 5% state, and 5% local funding; a grant-application resolution is expected at a future meeting. No grant was approved at this meeting.
