Supervisors authorize facilities director to approve roof change orders under $10,000 to speed replacement
Summary
To avoid delays during a two-week roof replacement window, supervisors authorized Facilities Director Ryan Peterson to approve change orders up to $10,000, citing alignment with normal procurement policy; larger changes will return to the board.
Franklin County supervisors authorized Facilities Director Ryan Peterson to sign and approve change orders related to the courthouse roof replacement project up to $10,000. Staff said the project timeline is short (about two weeks) and approving smaller change orders at the department level would avoid unnecessary delays. Supervisors moved and seconded the authorization and approved it by voice vote.
County staff explained that $10,000 is the department-head authority under the county’s procurement policy and that any change orders above that threshold would be considered major and returned to the board for approval or a special meeting. Supervisors discussed the possibility of calling a special meeting if an unexpected larger change order arose.
The board recorded the motion as approved by voice vote; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally. Staff noted the roofing contractor planned to begin work weather permitting and that approving the cap would keep the project on schedule.
