Teller County approves $8.58M guaranteed‑maximum contract for central service center
Summary
Commissioners approved a guaranteed‑maximum‑price construction contract with Taylor Kors for the county central service center in the amount of $8,584,742 and discussed allowances and project oversight.
The board voted to approve the construction phase contract for Teller County’s central service center, accepting a guaranteed‑maximum price (GMP) of $8,584,742 with Taylor Kors. Deputy county administrator Miss Morris presented the contract and said staff, public works and legal counsel had reviewed the agreement and recommended approval.

The clerk recorded a unanimous roll call approving the contract.
