Jail expansion update: contractor reports $106,000 change order for steel connection
Summary
Project manager updated the Finance Committee that a change order of about $106,000 is needed to provide steel work that connects two jail expansion buildings; commissioners accepted the update and budget adjustments were discussed.
County officials received an update on the Franklin County jail expansion during Finance Committee discussion and at the Dec. 3 commission meeting. The project manager told the committee a contractor change order—approximately $106,000—was needed to provide structural steel to connect two newly built jail buildings.
What county officials said: The Finance Committee recorded the update and forwarded budget and contract recommendations to the full commission. Commissioners accepted the committee’s recommendations and approved related budget amendments. The project manager noted severe weather in the county has increased operational demands and could affect project timelines and expenditures.
What comes next: County staff will reconcile contractor‑provided change orders with the project budget and report back through the Finance Committee. The committee and commission will monitor costs as the work continues.
