Board approves $7,218 courthouse hardware change order; contingency remains intact
Summary
Commissioners approved a $7,218 change order for courthouse door hardware and key‑fob access, drawn from owner contingency; the motion passed 4–2. Facilities staff said stronger hinges and lock mechanisms required the upgrade.
The Hall County Board of Commissioners approved a $7,218 change order for courthouse door hardware and security access during the meeting, with the expenditure taken from owner contingency.
Facilities staff (speaker 13) explained the change order reflected substitution of heavier‑duty hinges and lock mechanisms after the original hardware proved insufficient for the project. “There was a total amount of $7,218, which is taken out of our owner contingency, leaving still over $800,000 in that account,” the presenter said. Staff also described plans to install card readers for most doors while keeping keyed access for evidence storage rooms.
Commissioners debated access and key‑fob allocation for judges, evidence storage, maintenance and other functions. After a motion and second, the board voted 4 yes, 2 no to approve the change order; the motion carried.
Action: change order approved and funds drawn from owner contingency; project will continue with revised hardware specifications.
