County notes metal building manufacturer issues, sewer work at animal shelter site
Summary
Committee heard that the animal shelter project is delayed by manufacturer drawing approvals for the metal building canopy; staff said contractors may add two columns at the end wall to resolve the canopy tie-in, and that sewer piping work is advancing toward a larger-diameter run behind the jail.
County staff reported problems with shop drawings from the metal building manufacturer for the animal shelter project and described proposed, no-cost options to resolve canopy/connection issues.
Staff said engineers (Scott Saint John referenced) have required corrections on repeated submittals from the manufacturer and that one accepted option would add two columns on an expandable end wall so the front canopy could be tied into the existing structure; staff said the county would accept the change but not pay for additional structural cost. The contractor was reported to be returning to the manufacturer for corrected drawings.
Separately, staff said sewer work is in progress, extending behind the county jail; crews were reported to be nearing the switch from a 2-inch to a 3-inch run where the line makes a turn. Site remediation, including removal and repair of wet/soft spots, was described as largely complete.
Discussion: staff characterized the delay as manufacturer/drawing-related and presented a no-cost design workaround; committee members did not take a formal vote during this item. No project change order or additional funding was approved at the meeting.
