Commission approves up to $22,500 increase to forensic center design contract with Tinkermaw LLC

The Hamilton County Commission approved a resolution authorizing the county mayor to increase the design contract with Tinkermaw LLC by an amount not to exceed $22,500 to cover reimbursable expenses related to the design of a new forensic center.

Recorded on the agenda as resolution 625-5, the item was moved by Commissioner Smith and seconded by Commissioner Graham. Commissioners asked no substantive questions on the record during the item and the roll call vote recorded approval.

The resolution authorizes the mayor to execute the contract amendment; the meeting record did not specify a construction schedule, total project budget, or the exact reimbursable expense categories covered by the $22,500 increase. The county’s administration and the design firm will be responsible for finalizing the amendment language and documenting the reimbursable items in the revised contract.
