Supervisors approve courthouse change orders, vehicle surplus and contract amendment
Summary
The board approved reallocations for courthouse change orders that realize $352,713.03 in savings, authorized a 2014 Dodge Charger transfer to Emory & Henry University for campus security, and approved an administrative amendment to the solid-waste contract to change the fuel-surcharge calculation; all motions passed unanimously.
County staff presented five change orders for the courthouse project and said one item (change order 46) reduces contract expenditures by $352,713.03, freeing funds to cover a parking-lot payment and exterior cupola work without adding new county funds. The board approved the change orders 7–0.
Separately, staff recommended surplusing a set of county vehicles for auction while transferring a 2014 Dodge Charger (serial ending in 1644) directly to Emory & Henry University for campus security use at the sheriff's request; supervisors approved the surplus and the donation. County counsel also explained a scrivener correction to the solid-waste transportation and disposal agreement to base the fuel surcharge on an average monthly price instead of a weekly price; the board authorized the county administrator to sign the amendment.
"So there's no new monies. It's just reallocating the savings from the contract," Mr. Berry said, summarizing the courthouse change-order package. All related motions carried on unanimous voice votes.
