Courthouse project progresses; board flags potential out‑of‑contract AV costs
Summary
Project manager reported the courthouse roof and windows installed and drywall underway; commissioners scheduled a meeting on courtroom AV/sound and noted uncertainty whether AV boxes/TVs are covered by contract or will be out‑of‑scope project expenses.
County project staff reported the courthouse construction is advancing: the roof is complete, windows are installed, drywall and some basement finishes are done, and ductwork and air handlers are being connected. The county has scheduled a security meeting with the sheriff’s office and corrections to define courtroom security and AV placement.
Project staff said a vendor requested AV boxes, TVs and courtroom sound equipment; the board raised questions about whether those items are included in the prime contract or will be charged as additional project costs. Staff said the items are currently being treated as project money and that an upcoming meeting with the contractor, electrical contractor and AV vendor will clarify responsibilities and scope. No additional budget appropriation was approved at the meeting; staff said they will return with cost figures after the meeting.
