Legislature amends government center brick rehabilitation contract, taps contingency for $9,500
Summary
The buildings and grounds committee reported remaining punch‑list and new brick defects; the legislature amended the contract with Bridal Masonry to pay an additional $9,500 from contingency funds to finish the job.
The Clinton County Legislature on June 25 amended a prior contract governing the government center brick rehabilitation project to authorize an additional payment of $9,500 to complete remaining punch‑list work and address post‑completion brick issues.
During consideration of Resolution number 4 79, the Buildings and Grounds Committee reported that contractors remain on site to complete interior trim and punch‑list items and that additional efflorescence and chipped bricks had appeared since initial completion. The committee recommended amending the contract with Bridal Masonry to fund the remaining corrective work.
A legislator noted that using the contractor while already mobilized avoids a second mobilization charge. The amendment directs that the additional $9,500 be taken from the project contingency outlined in the resolution. A roll call on the resolution recorded affirmative votes for the measure in the meeting record.
The transcript included a brief remark that the original project had been estimated at about $2,000,000; no final project closeout date was provided during the public session. Jackie (county attorney) asked whether the topic should be discussed in executive session but the contractor and committee representatives indicated they were comfortable discussing the matter publicly, so the legislature proceeded with the vote.
