Madison County OKs up-to-$10,000 courthouse inspection to preserve warranty
Summary
Supervisors approved hiring a building consultant (up to $10,000) to inspect the recently completed courthouse before warranty expiration in October; proponents said the review will document defects and may involve an engineer.
Madison County supervisors voted to hire a building consultant to inspect the courthouse and identify warranty-eligible issues, authorizing up to $10,000 for the work.
Supporters said the consultant’s walk-through and documentation will help the county pursue warranty remedies before expiration in October. Opponents questioned spending taxpayer dollars on an inspection they said would only identify cosmetic issues, but several supervisors said multiple problems had occurred during the project and a professional inspection — including engineer review if necessary — is prudent.
The motion passed by oral vote. Supervisors agreed to engage a consultant with a scope tailored to the $10,000 budget limit and to involve a board member familiar with the original construction during the walk-through.
