Commissioners approve geotechnical testing and higher-precision survey for Judicial Center site

Sep 9, 2026

Staff recommended and commissioners approved a $5,500 geotechnical testing contract (five borings) and a three-part, higher-precision survey from Miller Land Surveying (presentation cited $12,375; a later restatement in the discussion recorded $12,003.75), with staff tasked to coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption to court operations.

Nate (S7) recommended proceeding with a geotechnical investigation by GME for a lump-sum fee of $5,500 covering five borings at the Judicial Center parking-lot site, and a three-part topographic and subsurface proposal from Miller Land Surveying for what Nate described as an "Ulta [Alta] survey" standard that justifies higher fees.
