Commissioner proposes shifting annex change order into sheriff remodel, flags ARPA compliance
Summary
A commissioner proposed moving an annex change order into the sheriff’s remodel and applying ARPA funds to the sheriff project so the county can account for federal requirements; commissioners discussed GMPs, contingency, and GrantWorks oversight but made no binding decision.
Commissioner (S2) proposed moving a previously included annex change order into the sheriff's remodel project and using ARPA funds to cover eligible costs for the sheriff remodel. He argued that placing the money in the sheriff remodel would keep ARPA monies properly accounted for and reduce risk of federal recapture if awards are not assigned correctly.
Commissioners and the auditor discussed the guaranteed maximum price already set for the annex, potential deductive change orders, and the need to assign ARPA funds before the December deadline. The auditor said GrantWorks — the county’s ARPA consultant — would not charge more to add the sheriff project to their scope. No vote occurred; the proposal was placed on the revision sheet for further action.
