Clock tower project on schedule; county seeing early construction and energy‑savings gains
Summary
Contractors told the fiscal court that courthouse clock tower work (phase 2) is nearing exterior completion, scaffolding removal and painting are next, and preliminary energy-savings tracking showed a slight first-quarter variance and reported construction savings to the county of about $14,000.
A contractor representative provided the fiscal court an update on the courthouse renovation and energy project, saying phase 1 is complete and phase 2 — centered on the clock tower — is entering finishing stages.
"The dormers, the louvers, the windows are all going in ... a lot of that metal working is almost complete," the presenter said, adding scaffolding removal and exterior paint are expected next. The presenter told the court the overall schedule still points to an October–November window for finish and punch-list work.
The presenter also reviewed the project's energy-savings tracking: an early quarter showed a small delta versus baseline projections (expected $2,340.03 vs. actual $2,360.07 for the first quarter), and construction-period savings credited to the county were reported at a little over $14,000 to date. He emphasized the savings are tracked against bond amortization and that summer months typically produce higher solar generation.
Judges and magistrates asked a few operational questions and thanked the team for the update; the presenters said they will provide a formal M&B report to the court and make the slide deck available to staff.
