Nueces County approves substantial completion for Driscoll Community Center, holds 10% retainage
Summary
The county accepted substantial completion for the Driscoll Community Center project while holding back a 10% contingency to ensure final punch-list items (sidewalk, signage, ADA fixes) are completed.
The Commissioners Court approved a certificate of substantial completion for the Driscoll Community Center project on June 10 but directed staff to hold back the standard 10% retainage pending final completion of outstanding items.
Commissioner 4 raised concerns about unfinished contractor work and asked whether the substantial-completion action would pay the contractor everything except the 10% holdback. Project staff (speaker 16) confirmed the retainage would be held and that remaining items included a front sidewalk to meet ADA requirements and some signage.
The court noted the contractor has a small number of items outstanding and emphasized the need to press the contractor to finish the work. The motion to approve the certificate of substantial completion with the 10% holdback passed unanimously.
