Commissioners hire owners representative for courthouse and annex finish work
Summary
The board approved hiring the Peterson Company as owners representative for finishing work on the courthouse and annex projects, citing the firm's experience; the county will fund the oversight from project accounts.
Clinton County commissioners voted June 3 to hire an owners representative to provide construction oversight for the courthouse and annex projects and selected the Peterson Company over an alternate proposal.
County staff presented two proposals: the Peterson Company (three-person team with rates of $145, $195 and $215 per hour for project manager, director of operations and vice president, respectively) and Intac Management Group (single consultant at $150 per hour). Staff recommended Peterson Company based on experience and ability to provide periodic on-site oversight.
Commissioners approved the recommendation 3-0 and said project funds already allocated to the construction work will cover the cost; no additional appropriation was requested at the meeting. The firm will perform oversight tasks on the annex finishing work and the remaining courthouse project elements, coordinating with county staff and the general contractor.
The board did not specify an exact not-to-exceed amount at the meeting; staff said oversight will be billed to the project account and that the firm will be engaged according to project needs and timelines.
