Collin County is getting ready to hire a contractor to fix moisture damage in the lower level of the Collin County Justice Center in McKinney.
Approval to advertise the job, listed as "CCSO Subsurface Water Intrusion," sits on the Commissioners Court consent agenda for Monday afternoon, Oct. 19. The court convenes at 1:30 in the county administration building on Bloomdale Road.
The job
According to the bid documents, the contractor would repair moisture damage to the building's lower level on its south side. The justice center sits at 4300 Community Ave. The technical sections cover brick masonry repair and replacement, self-adhering sheet waterproofing, air and moisture barriers and joint sealants, along with concrete and structural repairs.
The specifications carry the title "Collin County Justice Center Investigation" and a date of Sept. 29.
The county's estimate of the construction cost is $200,000. On top of each bid, the county will automatically add a $100,000 allowance, not to exceed that amount, for conditions crews might find only after they start tearing out material. Bidders must price the waterproofing and structural work separately.
A memo from Sandeep Kathuria, the county's director of building projects, says the money would come from the Permanent Improvement Fund.
