Cole County architects report design-development progress on $14 million juvenile center
Summary
Architects Alliance told the Cole County Commission the juvenile center remains on a $14 million target; design-development documents set a November construction-document submission and an expected 12-month build after bidding.
Architects Alliance presented the design-development (DD) documents for the proposed Cole County Juvenile Center, saying the project remains on a $14,000,000 target and that the team plans to submit 50 percent construction documents by mid‑November.
The firm said the DD set expands schematic design choices into engineered systems — HVAC, structural framing, plumbing, electrical and security — and that the next step is a construction-document (CD) submission to support contractor bidding. Mitchell (Architects Alliance) told the commission the team expects to issue bid documents in mid‑November and run a five‑week bid period, with a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) possible near year‑end and potential site mobilization in January or March 2027 depending on weather and contractor schedules.
