Wilson pathway job could slide to summer 2027, no new funding
Teton County commissioners are set to vote on a no cost change order for the Wilson Active Transportation Project that would push substantial completion to June 16, 2027 and final completion to July 20, 2027, with the contract total unchanged.
Teton County commissioners on Tuesday are set to consider a no cost schedule change for the Wilson Active Transportation Project in downtown Wilson, the Highway 22 pathway and shoulder work that is supposed to stitch the neighborhood together without forcing people into traffic meeting agenda. Staff say Change Order No. 2 would move the contract dates from late 2026 to June 16, 2027 (substantial completion) and July 20, 2027 (final completion) because the Wyoming Department of Transportation did not issue a notice to proceed until July 14 after reviewing subcontractor agreements staff report. The report says the change order is schedule only, with no change to the overall contract amount, but it flags likely added construction administration and engineering costs to be proposed in the fiscal 2028 budget process.
The record shows commissioners previously moved this project forward in May, approving the Evans Construction contract at not-to-exceed $4,715,324, with a 2026 schedule built around a November 20 substantial completion target May packet.
