Macon County approves $45,110 change order for library siding after unforeseen exterior wall issues
Summary
The board approved a $43,610 change order for Wind River Construction and $1,500 for Looper Architecture—$45,110 total—and a budget amendment from general fund contingency to cover unforeseen exterior wall repairs at the Macon County Public Library.
Project Coordinator Joe Allen told the board the library porte‑cochere is about 80% complete, but crews uncovered issues with the exterior wall that require replacement of siding. Commissioner Breeden moved, Commissioner Shearl seconded a change order for $43,610 to Wind River Construction and $1,500 to Looper Architecture, for a total of $45,110, with a corresponding budget amendment from General Fund contingency. The board voted unanimously to approve the change order and budget amendment.
The board did not provide an updated completion date at the meeting; staff cited unforeseen exterior work as the reason for the additional cost. The funding for the change order was authorized from contingency rather than new revenue.
What to watch for: staff will need to provide updated completion timelines and any further cost estimates if additional hidden conditions are discovered.
