County to cover $250,658.94 jail renovation change order from general fund reserves
Summary
County staff told the commission a change order for the Montgomery County Detention Facility—covering washers, cameras and floor work—totaling $250,658.94 will exceed the project's allowance and be funded from general fund reserves; the project is expected to finish this calendar year.
County staff presented a change order for the Montgomery County Detention Facility renovation on July 2 that totals $250,658.94 and covers replacement of four washers, additional camera installation, and floor work.
Clerk (speaker 3) said the amount exceeds the project's owner's allowance and that the county will use general fund reserves to cover the shortfall. Staff expects the renovation project to be completed by the end of the calendar year.
Why it matters: the change order increases county capital spending and will be paid from general reserves rather than the original project allowance; commissioners asked clarifying questions about scope and timing and staff confirmed plumbing, electrical and finishing trades remain to be completed.
Next steps: staff indicated the change order will proceed and the county will monitor completion timelines; no formal vote was recorded at the informational session.
