Commissioners approve final change orders for Zion Hill and Ellis Creek projects; $93,000 in liquidated damages noted
Summary
The court approved final contract adjustments for two road projects: a $1,510 net reduction for the Zion Hill loop and contract adjustments for Ellis Creek that reflect $93,000 in liquidated damages tied to extended inspection and engineering work; both motions passed 5-0.
The Parker County Commissioners Court approved final change orders for two road-construction contracts during its July meeting.
Kim, the project presenter, told the court the Zion Hill loop contract was reduced by $1,510 after final, measured quantities were reconciled. The court adopted the adjustment after a motion by Commissioner Holt and a second by Commissioner Walden; the motion carried 5-0. On the Ellis Creek subdivision work, Kim said contractors incurred liquidated damages totaling $93,000 because the contractor took additional time to finish work, which increased construction engineering and inspection costs. The court approved the related contract adjustment and final pay request, with the motion carrying 5-0.
Commissioners thanked project engineers and staff. One commissioner praised Dustin Blaylock of Friese & Nichols for "thinking out of the box" and helping get projects completed on schedule. The court recorded the votes and moved on to other consent items.
