County will seek approval for small finance office buildout and Courtroom 3C plumbing change order
Summary
Staff proposed converting a file room into an office for a finance staffer (quote $10,365) and discussed a change order for plumbing in Courtroom 3C after a misidentified shutoff valve caused a leak; ServiceMaster cleanup costs were estimated near $9,000–$10,000 and to be charged to the capital account for the courtroom project.
County staff asked commissioners to approve two construction‑related items at the evening meeting: a small, cost‑efficient buildout to create a private office for a finance accountant and a change order for Courtroom 3C to address water damage.
Staff said principal construction crews already on site could build out a file room into an enclosed office for a quoted cost of $10,365, saving money by using contractors already working at the facility. Regarding Courtroom 3C, staff described an incident in which an incorrectly identified shutoff valve led to a water leak; ServiceMaster was called to extract water, dehumidify and clean the space. Staff estimated cleanup costs “right around $9,000” and said the expense would be charged to the capital account for the courtroom project.
Both items were placed on the evening agenda for formal action; staff said they would provide exact cleanup invoices and change‑order amounts at that meeting.
