County approves $300,174 change order for 911 center windows paid by SCIF grant
Summary
Commissioners approved change order No. 3 for Thomas Construction — about $300,174 in total — to install six level‑4 (bullet‑resistant) windows at the new 911 communications center; staff said the work is funded by a SCIF grant and will not affect the county general fund.
The Board of Commissioners approved change order No. 3 with Thomas Construction for the new 911 communications center, adding approximately $300,174 to cover the installation of six level‑4 windows and related insulated glazing and insurance items.
Emergency services director David Ransom described the windows as narrow (about 18 inches tall) but designated as level‑4 bullet resistant to meet security needs while allowing some natural light for staff. Commissioners clarified the total reflected additional insurance and other line items; staff confirmed the full cost will be paid from a SCIF grant and will not require general‑fund contributions.
Ending: Staff will proceed with the change order and installation schedule using grant funds; project managers will report procurement details as part of construction oversight.
