Commissioners approve $22,217 addition to Moseley contract for Justice Center space study
Summary
The Rockingham County Board approved a $22,217 amendment to the Moseley architect contract to add a space study for the Rockingham County Justice Center, citing requests for additional public defender space, DA staff, judges and clerk's office needs.
The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 3 to add $22,217 to the Moseley architect contract for a space study of the Rockingham County Justice Center.
Ronnie Tate, presenting to the board, said departments at the Justice Center have reported space shortages and the study would examine options for accommodating additional needs, including a possible public defender’s office, expanded district attorney staffing, an additional judge and additional clerk’s office space. “The cost of this addition to that contract is $22,217,” Tate said.
Commissioner Hall moved to approve the contract revision; Commissioner Richardson seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote.
Why it matters: The space study is intended to develop options and preliminary designs before the board considers construction or renovation proposals. Tate said Moseley performed the project’s initial design work and will include Justice Center space in the study so the board can review proposals in the near future.
The presentation did not specify the funding source for the $22,217 amendment; Tate referenced earlier budget discussions but did not name a particular fund. The study is a planning-level action and does not itself authorize construction or a capital expenditure beyond the contract amendment.
