Add $286,005 to Bogard Construction contract for Juvenile Hall projects
In plain English
The county is asking to add $286,005 to its existing contract (19C4335) with Bogard Construction, which provides construction management help on two Juvenile Hall building projects: a Multi-Use Recreation and Program Facility (gym) and a Renovation and Upgrades project. Construction started in May 2025 and was supposed to take 365 calendar days, but delays with heating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and unforeseen conditions pushed projected completion to March 2027. A yes vote pays Bogard for roughly 10 more months of oversight work and lets the Director of General Services sign the amendment.
The gym is meant to give youth at Juvenile Hall a state-required all-weather exercise and training facility, and the renovation covers a new Seed-to-Table program plus accessibility, security and infrastructure upgrades — so the delay pushes those benefits to 2027 while the county pays more for construction oversight.
Key facts
- Third amendment to contract 19C4335 with Bogard Construction, increasing compensation by $286,005
- Construction began May 2025 with a 365-calendar-day schedule; completion now projected for March 2027, a 10-month extension
- Buhler Commercial was awarded the construction contract on December 17, 2024 for both projects, built concurrently
- State funding: $1,355,608 conditionally awarded for the gym (SB 81 Round 1) and $9,503,000 for the Renovation and Upgrades project (SB 81 Round 2)
- County funds in the Capital Plant Fund: $3,185,000 (GL Key 191101) and $5,789,242 (191102); total revenue available for both projects is $19,832,850
- Listed on the consent agenda, meaning it is voted on with other routine items unless a supervisor pulls it for discussion
Reasons to support
- The two projects have separate design teams, permits, project documents and financial records to meet Senate Bill 81 funding conditions, and Bogard reviews that documentation, coordinates with the design team and contractor, and observes on site.
- With completion pushed to March 2027 because of HVAC equipment lead times and unforeseen conditions, continued construction management support is needed through the longer schedule.
- The bulk of construction money is state lease revenue bond funding conditionally awarded by the Board of State and Community Corrections — $1,355,608 plus $9,503,000 — which depends on the projects meeting SB 81 requirements.
Reasons to oppose or change it
- The $286,005 increase is the third amendment to this contract, and the added oversight cost stems from delays rather than new scope, so the county pays more for the same two buildings.
- The staff report attributes delays to HVAC lead times and unforeseen conditions without identifying any cost recovery from the construction contractor, leaving county Capital Plant Fund dollars to absorb the extra management expense.
- Youth at Juvenile Hall wait until March 2027 for the state-required all-weather exercise facility and the Seed-to-Table, accessibility and security upgrades.
