Oct 6, 2026

The court approved an amendment to retain Kitchell CEM through closeout of the Kaufman County Courthouse renovation, noting a buffer of about $99,000 that staff said may not all be needed; staff expects final completion near the end of October and a possible November move-in.

The full story

County staff presented an amendment to the Kitchell CEM professional services agreement to extend retention through construction closeout and to increase the contract amount to cover extended schedule costs. The presenter said the amendment "will allow us to retain Kitchell through closeout" and that staff "did receive our certificate of occupancy last week," while noting they will not move in until all items are complete.
