Commissioners authorize contract amendment with Lee Lewis Construction for detention center loading dock work
Summary
Court authorized the county judge to sign an amendment to the Lee Lewis Construction contract to complete additional work discovered under the Lubbock County Detention Center loading dock.
Lubbock County Commissioners Court authorized the county judge to sign an amendment to the construction contract with Lee Lewis Construction Inc. to complete additional work uncovered beneath the detention center loading dock.
Natalie Harvill, director of facilities, said the amendment covers work discovered after opening the area under the loading dock. The amendment follows a prior exemption that allowed Lee Lewis to continue work pending contract completion. Commissioner Rackler moved to authorize the county judge to sign the amendment; Commissioner Daugherty seconded and the motion carried.
Court members made light comments about finding unexpected conditions during construction but did not specify change-order dollar amounts on the record. The transcript shows the motion passed by voice vote; no detailed tally or cost figure was included in the public discussion.
The amendment permits the contractor to finish corrective or additional work uncovered during construction; the county did not provide a specific final cost in the meeting record.
