Freestone County approves recommendation to hire JC Stoddard as construction manager at risk for courthouse restoration
Summary
The court accepted a restoration committee recommendation and voted to authorize the judge to sign a contract with JC Stoddard as construction manager at risk; commissioners and staff said no project funds were approved at this meeting and that a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) will come later.
Freestone County commissioners voted to accept a restoration committee recommendation to select JC Stoddard of San Antonio as the construction manager at risk for a courthouse restoration project and authorized the county judge to sign the general contract. County staff said the action approves the selection and authorizes contract execution so that the contractor can develop guaranteed maximum price (GMP) proposals; no appropriation or GMP was approved at the meeting.
Committee members told commissioners they solicited qualifications, interviewed four firms, and chose JC Stoddard based on experience; the court moved, a second was recorded and the chair stated "motion carried." The transcript records the selection and the judge's authorization but does not record the motion maker, seconder, or an explicit roll-call tally.
Next steps: staff said the county will receive contractor documents including the state-required 1295 disclosure and a GMP for later review and formal approval by the commissioners.
