Clark County approves $635,630.86 retainage release to Elford; administrator cites vendor indemnity dispute
Summary
The board approved release of retainage to Elford, Inc. for the courthouse renovation ($635,630.86 plus interest) while county staff reported a separate dispute with a panic-button vendor that could affect final payment timing.
March 4, 2026 — The Clark County Board of Commissioners approved a retainage release to Elford, Inc. for the Clark County Courthouse Renovation Project in the amount of $635,630.86 plus interest (Resolution 2026-0174).
County Administrator Jennifer Hutchinson explained earlier in the meeting that remaining delay on final payment stemmed from a dispute with the panic-button vendor, telling the board the vendor "refused to sign the contract because they wanted the county to indemnify them, which is against the law. Elford will not get final payment until it is settled." The record shows the board nevertheless approved the retainage release amount recorded in the resolution.
The resolution directs payment processing per the contract and project closeout procedures; the transcript does not provide further detail on the vendor dispute resolution timeline.
