The Jackson County Board has a number of projects it must tackle in the near future.

The board is also concerned with created a long range plan for county office.

The board discussed different options on how to proceed with such projects Tuesday night at its board meeting.

Board Chair John Rendleman said the space in the courthouse that offices occupy is probably not acceptable.

The board is also working on stabilization the Willis and Craine buildings in Murphysboro, as well as fixing major heating and cooling issues within the courthouse.

Starting with the Willis building, the county just replaced the roof for about $60,000.

Next up is the Craine building, which has major mold issues, as well as other problems. It's estimated to run the county about $120,000.

The heating and cooling problems within the courthouse could cost the county between $574,000 and $739,000. There are condensation leaks that have been causing mold throughout the building.

Rendleman said the issues are things that have to be done.

These are not improvement to the county, but deferred maintenance, he said.

Wallington, NJ (PRWEB) March 28, 2014

Pump Products has added Armstrong's new Maintenance-Free S&H Circulators and Seal Bearing Assemblies to its 2014 inventory as part of an ongoing effort to meet the demands of customers in the building maintenance and contracting markets. The new Maintenance-Free (MF) versions of Armstrong's popular S&H Circulator lines and Seal Bearing Assembly (SBA) contain permanently lubricated bearings that require no oiling or greasing. Bottom line savings for both markets are among the benefits offered by the new design.

"This new maintenance-free version of Armstrong's popular S&H lines eliminates the sleeve bearing which requires periodic oiling and replaces it with a sealed bearing assembly requiring no lubrication, " says Product Expert Fred Hettinger. "It's a small design improvement that will save building owners a bundle in maintenance and repair costs and substantially extend pump life for those who do little or no maintenance."

In addition to eliminating the costs associated with periodic oiling and system downtime, the new Armstrong Maintenance-Free SBAs are compatible with many competing circulator models and can be retrofitted to existing systems. For contractors, the versatile new SBAs can reduce inventory costs and optimize service opportunities.

"Along with Bell & Gossett, Armstrong makes some of our most popular circulator lines," says Fred Hettinger. "They're heavily used in heating and cooling, and domestic water systems. Once the long-term benefits associated with the new Maintenance-Free S&H Circulators are better-known, the line will likely become the standard against which other models are measured."

Pump Products provides contractors, facilities managers, mechanical companies and other large-end users such as universities, shopping malls and small commercial buildings with products that eliminate downtime and decrease maintenance costs. As a Master Armstrong Distributor, Pump Products carries an extensive inventory of the new Maintenance-Free S&H Circulators and SBAs and other Armstrong pumps and repair parts.

EDMONTON - The Alberta government is facing a bill of close to $1 billion to repair its aging health facilities across the province, prompting opposition critics to wonder how the government will ever catch up on all the needed work.

Health Minister Fred Horne acknowledged Tuesday the deferred maintenance tab is daunting, especially since the province is committing only $70 million each year to address the list of repairs.

He said the government is responsible for looking after 99 hospitals, the most of any province on a per-capita basis. Many of those facilities were built in the 1970s and early 80s in the Peter Lougheed era, and are now suffering serious breakdowns everything from electrical and drainage issues to faulty furnaces and broken elevators.

A lot of them are coming to an age where they require major investments and we are making those investments where we can, Horne said. The demand for money for repairs and maintenance always exceeds the supply. Is there more we can be doing? We are limited by resources we have, just like every health care system is.

Horne said he didnt know how much of that $1-billion tab is for critical projects that must be done quickly to keep the facilities running safely.

Regardless, opposition parties said the government needs to re-examine its spending priorities, since failing infrastructure has the potential to hurt patients, put staff under excessive pressure and increase the operational costs of hospitals.

They are never, ever, going to catch up at this rate, Wildrose health critic Heather Forsyth said. Its time this government started being honest with Albertans about the condition of some of their hospitals in this province that need to be fixed.

Forsyth said her party has Alberta Health Services documents that show Alberta has at least a dozen hospitals in poor condition.

Among them is the 45-year-old Misericordia Hospital operated by Covenant Health, which last year asked Horne for $33.5 million just to address critical issues, according to documents obtained by the provincial NDP.

I am writing to you to express the boards grave concern with the state of the Misericordia, Covenants chairman John Brennan wrote to Horne in an April 26, 2013, letter. (The hospital) is increasingly challenged to meet the needs of its patient population due to its deteriorating infrastructure and functional design.
