Board approves final field-light invoice and design fees for stadium phase‑1 restroom pavilion
Summary
Supervisors approved a final lights invoice and a design-development invoice and received status updates on 75% construction documents for phase 1 restroom pavilion and associated sitework.
Adams County supervisors approved payment of a late final invoice for field lighting and accepted a design-development invoice tied to the county's stadium renovation program during the July 23 meeting.
Why it matters: The approvals keep a multi‑phase renovation moving toward bidding and construction. Staff said phase 1 work — restroom pavilion, sitework and drainage determinations — remains within the grant budget but needs final engineering to confirm sewer connection and whether a lift station will be required.
What the board approved: The board voted to pay a delayed final invoice of $3,237.50 for the completed field-light installation; staff said the contractor completed the work earlier in the year but a clerical error delayed invoicing. The motion to pay the invoice carried on the record. Separately, supervisors approved a $10,500 invoice covering progress to 75% construction documents for the restroom pavilion and sitework; the board recorded a motion and carried the payment.
Project update: The county's architect reported the 75% construction drawings are near ready for bidding but that staff still must resolve sewer routing: options under consideration include gravity connection to a nearby manhole or installing a lift station; the latter would require coordination with the city because the county's connection point crosses municipal infrastructure. The architect also said the firm will finalize field measurements before returning with more definitive locker-room design, cost estimates and construction documents for subsequent phases.
Financial and next steps: Staff said the restroom‑pavilion work appears to fall within the originally submitted grant budget; remaining tasks include confirming sewer design, finalizing bid documents and selecting a construction bid once permitting and city coordination are complete. The board recorded motions in support of paying the invoices presented at the meeting and asked staff to proceed toward a public bid when the issues are resolved.
Ending: Supervisors said they wanted designs and estimates before authorizing additional construction work beyond phase 1; staff will return with finalized bid-ready documents when sewer coordination is resolved.
