Compton fire-protection building clears third-party review and begins construction, county says
Summary
Committee members said the Compton Fire Protection Building cleared enough third‑party review by Kelly Reynolds to begin construction, with outstanding minor items such as kitchen ventilation and soil-quality concerns to be addressed during work.
County staff told the Facilities and Maintenance Committee that the Compton Fire Protection Building project has begun construction after clearing a third‑party review process.
Committee members said third‑party reviewer Kelly Reynolds had completed enough of the review to allow the contractor to begin work, though some items remain to be addressed, including kitchen-ventilation details. Staff said soil-quality concerns were a key review item; once those issues were resolved the project received a green light and construction started.
Committee members framed the third‑party review as a protection of public funds and public safety: "They go through and they do all the you know, they supply the electrical dry I mean, they go through and they just look and make sure everything's up to code and up to snuff," a committee member said. No change orders, bids or budget figures were reported at the meeting; work is ongoing under the current contract.
The committee did not take formal action at the meeting regarding the Compton project; staff said they will continue oversight as construction proceeds.
