Court approves $35,000 change order for Rockwall County sheriff's office renovation
Summary
Commissioners approved Prime Contract Change Order No. 31 (phase 2) for the sheriff's office renovation—about $35,000—covering demo‑driven work (door and metal adjustments, floor changes, electrical work) and confirmed remaining milestones: move evidence, last demo and expected certificate of occupancy near Sept. 1.
County project staff presented Prime Contract Change Order (PCO) No. 31 for the Rockwall County Sheriff’s Office renovation, describing a set of architectural and trade changes discovered after opening walls in phase 2. Project elements include re‑routing or relocating a hose bib uncovered in demo, adjustments to odd‑shaped detention doors, credits and new costs for floor coverings versus polished concrete, metal work at the transaction window and additional electrical work. The PCO for phase 2 was presented as approximately $35,000 and described as the last group of trade work needed before final demo of evidence and dispatch.
Commissioner Stacy emphasized the operational milestones: dispatch has been relocated temporarily and "Evidence is a huge deal" before the final demo and rebuild; project staff said the contractor still lists a certificate of occupancy target of Sept. 1 (possibly end of August if schedule improves). The court voted 4–0 to approve PCO No. 31 and directed staff to proceed with final owner items and the audit process.
