Thurston County commissioners award $5.5 million contract for scaled‑back Courthouse Hill renovation
Summary
The Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a $5.5 million contract with M.A. Mortenson Company for the scaled‑back Courthouse Hill renovation project and authorized the interim director of Central Services to sign the contract and amendments up to 10%.
Thurston County commissioners unanimously approved a $5,500,000 contract with M.A. Mortenson Company to carry out a scaled‑back renovation of the Courthouse Hill facility.
The contract was presented by Tom Stremke, capital project manager in Central Services, who asked the commission to authorize the interim director of Central Services to execute the contract and “any amendments that do not exceed 10%.”
Commissioners moved and seconded the award; the motion carried unanimously. The contract award authorizes the county to proceed with the renovated scope of work under project number 25610 and allows the interim director to sign the contract and up to 10% in amendments without returning to the board.
The award follows prior public discussion and news coverage of the courthouse project. Stremke said he was available to answer questions at the meeting; none were raised before the commissioners voted to approve the contract.
The contract amount and the board’s authorization to allow amendments up to 10% are the principal decisions recorded during the March 18 meeting. The contract will be executed by Central Services and overseen by its interim director.
The board did not specify a construction start date or a detailed schedule during the public department item; such details were not provided in the staff presentation.
