County approves EOC construction change orders after contractor raises issues

Dec 17, 2025

Baker County approved several construction change orders for the Emergency Operations Center project, including a $5,495 credit for a substituted electrical product and additional net-cost orders covering rebar, EFIS demolition and conduit relocation to avoid schedule delays.

The full story

Facilities staff presented a set of potential change orders submitted by Kerbin Eagle Hout, the EOC contractor. The changes include a net credit for replacing a specified walk-in duct product (the manufacturer’s plant had burned, producing a substitute that reduced cost by $5,495), a larger PCO grouping concrete rebar and demolition/ICF tie-in work that will add to project cost and complexity, and a $1,000 conduit relocation identified immediately before a concrete pour.
