Kerr County approves extra testing, construction change orders for animal services facility and opens sale process for old shelter
Summary
Kerr County Commissioners approved a $17,950 change order for materials testing, a $38,034 construction change order and began the process to appraise and offer the old animal services building for sale, while appointing a selection committee for a rainwater catchment system.
Kerr County Commissioners on Monday approved additional construction testing and change orders for the county’s new animal services facility, authorized work to meet new safety and mechanical requirements, and directed staff to begin the process to appraise and offer the former animal shelter property for sale.
The court voted unanimously to increase the material-and-utility testing budget and to authorize a change order with UES Professional Services 44, LLC. County engineers later won approval for a separate construction change order with J.K. Bernhardt Construction Company covering fire-code doors, panic hardware and an IT-room mini-split HVAC unit.
The actions come as the county manages the facility’s construction budget and pursues related utility and site work. “The county engineer requests the court increase the material and utility testing budget from $33,392 to $41,082 and authorize the county judge to execute a change order with UES Professional Services 44, LLC in the amount of $17,950,” County Engineer Charlie Hastings told the court.
