County officials said the work is limited to a single, specific parcel related to the county’s communications tower at Electra and is not a continuing contract. Commissioners said they prefer a simple written agreement that spells out the scope and rates before survey work begins.

During discussion, a county official noted Liddickin previously prepared easements and legal descriptions for tower sites in 2023. The county judge asked whether a formal agreement already exists; commissioners and staff agreed a short agreement would be preferable for this one project. A staff member said Liddickin has completed previous work remotely from his office and could provide estimates of the parcel size and legal description.

Commissioner Beecham made the motion to engage Proven Surveying; Commissioner Watts seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote with the county judge and two commissioners saying \"aye,\" recorded as 3-0 in favor.","Commissioners voted 3-0 to engage Brad Liddickin of Proven Surveying to survey and provide legal descriptions for a parcel near the county tower at Electra; commissioners asked staff to prepare a simple agreement.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6298215,"Wichita County says courthouse renovation remains on track despite delayed materials",111,1562000,1673000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2505208-440bf28bc660d3ea4c060a4287af91af&start=1562&end=1673","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2505208-440bf28bc660d3ea4c060a4287af91af/thumbnail_1562000.jpg","/articles/6298215/Wichita-County/Texas/Wichita-County-says-courthouse-renovation-remains-on-track-despite-delayed-materials","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6298215-2025e80b13b41f0bbb425b2867d01b95/orig.mp4?Expires=1775355109&Signature=JxVwRL~6WqTnBCuWclw2HZJvGt7u5zJgNKRc0yE57caTqyBbrhy8ddN3VW0Hvf~mMVeU7EbI~Q3bc8L8vCynujbUCCqLLrs6uxDK9c0UOKvFaMv~Li5l62ZgGB~q9cdN09YmEvgDDXm3ATDB2jUBR94oQKqweg9ZrFU--QD7HO4SNxQn5DTj4qxWDxACmUM~dIdHHyMilToKPpEk7uuBpN~ceiMiqtnh5GQ7dQh82BgAI6woVBnGNozIHNfIgKAHFLK0Vm0pLgrqwXh9qXNhR8Ijtsut-ppGJJhl0A0fswM2LpZZmp3CZE1vcubRxEZmw~Fva3itejzYhSPog1HBuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioner Beecham told the Wichita County Commissioners Court on March 4 that renovations to the county courthouse and courthouse annex are proceeding but awaiting a handful of deliveries.

The county’s renovation project has progressed to punch-list work, but officials reported delays in several finished materials that could affect installation timing.

Beecham said project designers made a minor design change to the adjacent park that did not change the cost but improved buildability and added a secondary exterior egress from the county extension office. That change will give the county extension agent an exterior door from the office. Beecham said the county received some shutters for the courthouse but that one delivered shutter did not fit and another arrived damaged and must be reordered. The door for the courthouse is also delayed, and flooring tile for a bathroom remains on order. Riggles (contractor) is waiting for the floor tile, Beecham said.

Despite the material delays, Beecham said the project schedule remains on target and that invitations for an upcoming event related to the project will be mailed this week. County staff continue to work through punch-list items at both the courthouse and annex.

Work on the park modification and the extension-office egress is intended to improve access and construction efficiency, according to Beecham. Officials did not give a revised completion date for the outstanding items at the March 4 meeting.","Wichita County commissioners received an update on courthouse and annex renovations, saying the project remains on schedule while crews await replacement shutters, a door and bathroom tile.","actionData","errors"]
