Turner Construction asks Dallas County to approve $491,881.79 pay request for Evidence Storage & Firing Range
Summary
Turner Construction filed Application for Payment No. 17 asking Dallas County to pay $491,881.79 for work on the Evidence Storage & Firing Range project; the county received a project update from Farnsworth Group summarizing a 90% schedule completion and remaining contingency.
Turner Construction submitted Pay Application No. 17 for the Dallas County Evidence Storage & Firing Range project, requesting payment of $491,881.79 for the period ending July 31, 2026. The application and supporting architect certification arrived in a Farnsworth Group letter that “certifies payment in the amount noted above. Please send payment directly to the Contractor, Turner Construction Company,” according to Kristofer J. Orth, AIA, Architecture Principal at Farnsworth Group.
The project summary included in the packet reports substantial progress: the firing range and evidence-storage spaces were described as dry-in and substantially complete for many interior systems, with a listed schedule percent complete at 90% and an owner occupancy target noted in the construction look‑ahead documents. Turner’s backup documentation also shows a running total of contract values, retainage and the pay application detail used by the architect to recommend certification. Chad Lane, Turner Construction project manager, signed the contractor pay application and included standard bank instructions for payment.
Farnsworth and Turner provided a line-item continuation that lists subcontractor payments, contingency allocations and change‑order summaries; architect notes also identify remaining punch‑list and exterior seeding work. County staff will typically review the application and the architect’s certification and bring the pay request back to the Board for formal action; the packet materials supplied to the board are the basis for any approval or questions from supervisors.
