County set to push Wilson pathway finish into summer 2027, no new cost
Teton County commissioners are set to vote on a no cost Change Order No. 2 for the Wilson Active Transportation Project that would extend substantial completion to June 16, 2027 and final completion to July 20, 2027, while keeping the contract at about $4.7 million.
Teton County commissioners are set to vote on a no cost Change Order No. 2 for the Wilson Active Transportation Project, a schedule-only contract change tied to delays getting the job cleared to start. The agenda lists the item for consideration this week Board Meeting Agenda. Staff say the change order would move substantial completion from Nov. 20, 2026 to June 16, 2027, and final completion from Dec. 23, 2026 to July 20, 2027, with no change to the overall contract amount (listed in the change order as $4,715,234) staff report. Staff attribute the shift to the Wyoming Department of Transportation issuing the notice to proceed on July 14, 2026 after reviewing subcontractor agreements, too late to realistically finish this fall.
The record shows commissioners approved the construction contract with Evans Construction in May 2026 at not-to-exceed $4,715,324 after change order deductions, with completion originally targeted for late fall 2026 BCC packet. Staff flag that carrying work into spring 2027 will likely add construction administration and engineering costs, which would be proposed in the fiscal 2028 budget staff report.
