Commissioners approve three courthouse change orders totaling about $224,626
Summary
The board approved three change orders for the Madison County courthouse project: a $10,555.57 permit credit and two repair/utility change orders for $141,440.32 (storm sewer) and $72,630.34 (rubble foundation repair).
Madison County commissioners approved multiple change orders for ongoing courthouse work.
Change order number 12 was approved as a building permit credit of $10,555.57 because the county obtained the permit rather than the contractor. The board then approved change order number 13 to install and tie a storm sewer into existing drainage — the amount discussed was $141,440.32 — intended to contain recurring runoff. Change order number 14 for rubble foundation wall repair on the courthouse south end was approved for $72,630.34; staff described deterioration in mortar and planned stabilization work (tuckpointing and shotcrete) ahead of a new wall.
All three motions were moved and seconded and carried on voice votes. Commissioners discussed the technical need to address drainage and foundation deficiencies and the approvals allow the contractor to proceed with the specified work.
