Potter County commissioners voted this morning to name Journeyman Construction of Austin to be the general contractor overseeing restoration of the Potter County Courthouse.
The company’s bid of $13.9 million with a completion time of 660 days was the second lowest bid. Stoddard Construction bid $13.4 million with a completion time of 590 days, but ARCHITEXAS, the county’s consultant on the project, expressed concerns that overhead and profit charges on any additional work could be excessive, and the company received some negative responses from references. ARCHITEXAS also said in a letter to commissioners that Stoddard did not complete work on time on 30 percent of projects reviewed.
The advisory committee for the project will now negotiate a final contract for commissioners to approve.
Journeyman President Sam Kumar said 80 percent of subcontractors will be from the Amarillo area.
