Collin County's contract to expand medical and mental health space at its adult detention facility has grown past $113 million, and another round of changes goes to the Commissioners Court on Monday, Oct. 26.

Change Order No. 45 with builder Sedalco Inc. is on the consent agenda for the court's 1:30 p.m. meeting at the Jack Hatchell Administration Building, 2300 Bloomdale Road in McKinney. It adds $76,482.15 for three items:

  • $55,730.90 to change the air conditioning in an information technology room, a change the architect required
  • $17,916.31 to modify exit doors from an electrical room, a change the item summary says the city required
  • $2,834.94 to re-key a pharmacy door at the county's request

The order adds no days to the schedule. If approved, it brings the contract for the project's second phase to $113,022,459.81, according to the county budget office. Change orders on the job now total $7,589,860.14, or 7.19% of the contract.

The money would come from interest earned on the county's federal American Rescue Plan Act funds, the budget and auditor's offices wrote.

A smaller change already signed

The same agenda includes a notice that Change Order No. 44 was already approved by the county administrator under Court Order 2007-180-02-27, according to the item summary. That one netted $40,418.84: $44,435.67 for revisions the architect required to the slope of a sidewalk to meet accessibility rules, minus a $4,016.83 credit tied to monitoring of an exterior gate. It took the contract to $112,945,977.66.

Neither notice describes how far along construction is or when the expanded space is expected to open.
