County signs preconstruction amendment for auditor office renovation and awards asbestos abatement contract
Summary
Dallas County finalized a preconstruction GMP amendment of $38,825 with Turner Construction for Auditor Office renovations and approved a $107,000 asbestos abatement contract for 100 Nile Kinnick Drive N ahead of renovation work.
Dallas County on June 16 approved a preconstruction services amendment and an asbestos-abatement contract tied to planned renovations of the county Auditor's office in Adel.
County materials show a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Amendment No. 1 for preconstruction services with Turner Construction establishing a fixed preconstruction staff amount and a guaranteed (not-to-exceed) staff/GMP figure of $38,825. The amendment sets a key schedule milestone by identifying July 31, 2026 as the substantial‑completion date for the overall construction schedule referenced in the amendment documents.
The county also executed a contract with Earth Services & Abatement, LLC to perform asbestos abatement at 100 Nile Kinnick Drive N. The abatement contract and bid form set the base cost at $107,000, with standard terms that include a Notice to Proceed requirement before work begins, performance and payment bonds, contractor insurance requirements, and payment within 30 days of invoicing and acceptance of services. The contract includes two potential start windows listed in bid materials (beginning June 24 or, alternatively, July 13) and a completion deadline in the bid form tied to those starts (e.g., completion by July 24 for the June 24 start).
The amendment and the abatement contract detail procedural requirements: owner-provided geotechnical and topographical information for estimating, contractor licensing and notification obligations, air-monitoring and clearance testing protocols, and requirements that hazardous-waste manifests and disposal records be provided to the county. The preconstruction attachments state that the fixed staff amount for preconstruction services "will be billed in equal installments from commencement through July 2026." The abatement specification includes detailed containment, negative-pressure ventilation, and clearance procedures and requires appropriate landfill and transportation handling for asbestos waste.
County documents accompanying the items show signatures and dated contract exhibits consistent with execution on or about June 16, 2026. The transcript materials do not provide an on-the-record roll-call vote for the contracts; the contracts and associated exhibits are appended to the meeting record.
