Summary

Charles Construction requested changing the Government Center substantial completion date from May 28 to Aug. 14, 2026, citing delays including an elevator delivery now scheduled for June 15; commissioners requested updated schedules and change orders before approving any resolution.

Charles Construction and county staff discussed on April 7 a requested revision to the Government Center project's substantial completion date, moving it from the original May 28, 2026 date to August 14, 2026.

Contractors told commissioners that multiple prime contractors concurred that August 14 would work as a revised substantial completion date, and that the elevator delivery is delayed with a current expected delivery date of June 15. County staff requested an updated project schedule and written change orders. Contractors indicated a mutual release of claims would be needed as part of moving forward.

Commissioners scheduled a meeting with all contractors for Thursday to review change orders and schedules. Mark Evans was directed to prepare a resolution for the board to consider once the change orders and updated schedules are submitted and reviewed.

No final action was taken at the April 7 meeting; the commissioners will consider any formal resolution after receiving completed change orders and contractor schedules.
