Spencer County approves Elder Construction invoice as pavilion construction progresses

Spencer County Fiscal Court approved payment of an Elder Construction invoice for $85,139.97 at its April 20 meeting, a recorded step in the multi-line construction payment schedule for the new pavilion project.

The invoice packet attached to the meeting materials shows the original contract sum, change orders and a detailed percent-complete schedule spanning site work, PEM3 building erection, concrete, project management and mobilization. The invoice certified by the contractor’s representative indicates a total earned-to-date less retainage of $1,393,301.66 with $85,139.97 current payment certified by the architect.

Court minutes show multiple related entries: motions approving prior special meeting allocations tied to building funds and a motion approving the specific Elder Construction invoice in open session after an executive session. The court’s vote to approve the invoice passed by voice vote with one member recorded as voting nay on a separate earlier action; the meeting record shows the court then adjourned at 10:25 p.m.

County officials present noted that contract administration and change-order details are in the packet; the court’s approval authorizes the contractor to receive the certified payment and to continue construction per contract terms.
