Summary
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners approved Change Order No. 1 to contract RP2724 with Reeves Young LLC, increasing the contract by $10,145,147 (to $45,145,147) to add furnishings, IT and audiovisual systems and to obligate ARPA funds, by voice vote.
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 10 approved Change Order No. 1 to contract RP2724 with Reeves Young LLC, increasing the construction contract for the 1 Stop Gwinnett facility by $10,145,147 to a revised total of $45,145,147.
Support Services Acting Director Ron Adderley told the board the change order reflects programming adjustments after the design moved from conceptual to detailed phases and allows the contractor to include furniture, information-technology systems and audiovisual systems in its scope. Adderley said the work will give the county a single point of responsibility for those items and will help ensure the county obligates American Rescue Plan Act funds by the end of the year.
Adderley summarized the overall project background: the board awarded RP027-24 to Reeves Young LLC on Aug. 20, 2024, for a new three-story building at 1050 Grayson Highway in Lawrenceville that will house Gwinnett County Health and Human Services, Gwinnett County Veterans and Family Services, Ninth District Opportunity Head Start, the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities and Viewpoint Health.
The corrected agenda language clarifies that the contractor’s markup fee for profit and company overhead remains 2.4% and that the change order reflects an internal reallocation of items rather than an increase in general conditions, Adderley said. He also told the board that 85% of the change-order cost is funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.
Commissioner Cooch moved to approve the change order; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote with no opposition. The motion authorizes delegation of authority to the county administrator to approve guaranteed maximum price authorizations and associated change orders related to the project.
The board did not provide an itemized vote tally in the record. The meeting agenda listed the item as 20241162.
