Lincoln County Commission approves change order for courthouse elevator security upgrades
Summary
Commissioners approved a time‑sensitive change order to add master‑control security capabilities to elevators in the new justice center; staff said costs will be charged to owner contingencies and presented a maximum amount in the record.
At the start of regular business on Aug. 12, the Lincoln County Commission added a time‑sensitive agenda item and approved a change order to install additional security controls on the courthouse/justice center elevators.
Staff said the change is intended to allow "master control" of the elevators for security reasons and that the contractor asked to lock in prices before they increase. The presenter indicated a maximum figure in the record, saying "this $1.75 is a maximum," as read to the commission; the transcript does not specify units for that number. The commission authorized execution of the change order up to the stated maximum with the cost to be paid from owner contingencies.
Motion and approval: Commissioners moved and seconded the amendment to add the item and then moved and seconded approval of the change order; a roll call showed unanimous approval by commissioners present.
Ending: The change order authority was approved and staff may execute work within the approved maximum; further invoice detail and final cost will be reported through regular project accounting.
