Commissioners approve Roland McCrory Construction contract for Howard County Library renovation
Summary
Howard County Commissioners voted to approve a construction contract with Roland McCrory Construction for the county library renovation, setting the notice-to-proceed date as the agreement date and noting contractor timelines (120–180 days) and standard AIA exhibits.
Howard County Commissioners on April 13 voted to approve a contract with Roland McCrory Construction to carry out the county library renovation. County staff summarized the agreement as a standard AIA-form contract with three linked exhibits covering insurance, bonds and architect–contractor relationships; the court approved entering the contract and establishing the notice-to-proceed date as the date of the agreement.
County staff said the contractor estimated substantial completion in 120 days but asked for flexibility up to 180 days. Commissioners discussed getting a clean, non–redlined copy for signature and confirmed that, if approved today, the county would set the notice to proceed as of the agreement date so work could begin once a finalized document is available. A motion to enter into the contract passed with no opposition.
Commissioners commended the contractor’s cooperation and staff work on alternates and logistics for moving library materials during construction. The court said staff will circulate a clean copy for final signatures and follow procurement tracking procedures as construction proceeds.
