Human services building schedule updated; contingency and change orders under review
Summary
County staff updated the committee on the human services relocation and renovation project timeline (target: Q3 2026) and said proposed change orders (PCOs) are under review, increasing contingency estimates in the short term.
County staff provided an update on the human services relocation and renovation project and said the building is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2026, though project managers are continuing to review proposed change orders that have pushed contingency figures higher.
Why it matters: the project is a major county facility relocation. Staff said the general contractor has provided proposed change orders (PCOs) that the county is reviewing line-by-line to determine which costs the county should bear.
A project manager change was noted: Aaron Stanton had left the design firm CMA and the firm assigned a new project manager. County staff said the new manager has been more communicative and responsive to the county’s schedule and information requests.
Staff said PCOs that lagged for up to a year are being processed now, which temporarily increased contingency projections. County staff said they are still negotiating each PCO and that the current budget overview represents a worst-case scenario pending those reviews.
Ending: Staff will continue to review PCOs with CMA and provide updated budget and schedule information to the committee as items are resolved.
