Commission approves $1.839 million design‑build award for law enforcement center renovation
Summary
The county approved a design‑build contract previously awarded to PWC for $1,839,000 and authorized the design‑build contract with PWC and Tessere to begin design work; staff reported a May 27 kickoff and said signing the contract carries no immediate financial commitment.
The Board of County Commissioners approved a design‑build contract with PWC and Tessere for renovation of the Ellis County Law Enforcement Center, completing the procurement step the board took when it awarded the design‑build bid on May 19.
County Administrator Darin Myers said staff met with PWC and Tessere on May 27 to kick off design work for a basement phase slated to begin in mid‑July. The commission previously awarded the design‑build work to PWC with a bid amount of $1,839,000; Myers emphasized that signing the contract now does not create an immediate financial commitment to construction. The motion to approve the contract passed on a voice vote, 3–0.
Myers and staff will continue design work and return with timelines, budget refinements and next steps as design proceeds.
