Rockwall County updates sheriff's remodel: unexpected window, PCCOs and contingency accounting
Summary
Staff reported progress on the sheriff's remodel, including discovery of an unexpected window in the new break room, upcoming PCCOs (change orders), and consolidation of allowances into an owner contingency; a contingency/allowance log will be provided to commissioners.
County staff reported progress on the Rockwall County sheriff's office remodel, saying demolition work uncovered an unexpected window in the area planned for a new break room and that several potential change orders (PCCOs) will be brought to the court for action.
Sal told the court the discovered window will require adjustments to millwork and cabinetry in the new break room. He said the project team had consolidated allowances and contingencies into a single owner contingency and then split certain items into individual PCCOs so the court can clearly distinguish previously budgeted allowances from new scope. A commissioner requested a single spreadsheet that shows all allowances and PCCOs in one place for constituent inquiries; Sal said the contractor already maintains an allowance log that staff can provide to the court.
Why it matters: The changes affect project accounting and transparency for a high-visibility county construction project. Commissioners said they prefer to see an itemized log for clarity before acting on contract changes.
