Teton County commissioners are set to review an updated financial snapshot for the Justice Center that keeps the overall project budget at $118.5 million, with the staff report stating that figure includes “all soft costs and contingencies” and that the project is “currently on budget” after line items were adjusted with the final Guaranteed Maximum Price approval in February.

For folks who pay property tax and watch the county’s long list of capital wants, the question to listen for Monday is how much cushion is left if bids or materials jump. The same update pegs “Total Owner Contingency remaining to date (including pending costs)” at $3,048,798.60, and says any savings in soft-cost line items will be moved into contingency.
