The Dallas County Board of Supervisors on July 7 reviewed contractor pay applications and monthly progress reports for several county construction projects, including the Evidence Storage & Firing Range, the courthouse renovation and the Secondary Roads administration addition.
Turner Construction and the Farnsworth Group provided a June 2026 project summary for the Evidence Storage & Firing Range noting site paving complete, firing-range ceiling baffle installation nearly finished and interior progress in evidence storage. Farnsworth's certification letter accompanying Turner's Application for Payment No. 16 shows a requested payment of $532,574.49 for work through June 30, 2026; the submission lists retainage, subcontractor continuation sheets and contingency allocations.
The Board also received Turner's Application for Payment No. 15 for the Dallas County courthouse renovation, certified by the architect for $430,952.10, together with a June project summary reporting ceiling-grid and finish work on Level 2 and structural-steel completion on Level 3. Documents show the courthouse renovation schedule at about 74% complete and list upcoming milestones for owner occupancy of phases.
For the Secondary Roads administration addition and garage, Turner's pay application package (Application No. 19) and subcontractor backup were included; that application requests $71,872.54 and the continuation sheets detail subcontractor draws, allowances and contingency reconciliations.
Board materials included detailed invoicing and certification from multiple subcontractors and vendors (Action Target; Jensen Builders; Veit; Modern Piping; Tjaden Electric; Pleva Plumbing; Tri-City Electric; Allied Construction; and others) showing line-item completed-work totals, retainage and change-order summaries.
The board packet recorded but did not include a verbatim motion or vote on these pay applications in the transcript excerpt provided. County staff documents and architect certifications were entered into the record for supervisors to consider as part of routine capital-project oversight.
