County approves pay application for law‑enforcement center and a carpet-related change order from contingency
Summary
The board approved Pay Application No. 29 (River City Construction) for phase‑2 work (request ~$313,784 through April 30, 2026) and approved Change Order 51, a carpet-selection deduction from contingency of about $3,188.64; staff discussed additional small contingency items including door replacements and bench refinishing.
County staff presented Pay Application No. 29 for the Coffee County Law Enforcement Center (phase 2), covering work through April 30, 2026. The application, submitted by River City Construction, requested payment of approximately $313,784 for completed work; the board approved the payment.
The board also considered Change Order 51, which tied to a difference in the carpet selection for the public corridor and a small courtroom vestibule. The change order deducts $3,188.64 from the project construction contingency and does not change the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Commissioners discussed other contingency items that may be forthcoming — notably replacement or refurbishment of three interior doors that the contractor advised are damaged beyond acceptable cosmetic repair, and bench and finish work for the smaller courtroom. Staff noted some roof elements were also being reviewed for longer-term vulnerability; staff said those items would likely be handled through contingency or separate change orders as needed.
Why it matters: the project is approaching completion of phase 2 finishing work and these pay applications and approvals represent the final wave of contractor invoices tied to finishing trades, security systems and programming. The board scheduled a punch-list walkthrough and discussed timelines for occupancy and final acceptance.
At the meeting the board approved both the pay application and the change order; staff will continue to manage remaining contingency items and report back.
