A Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for construction of Hays County’s jail renovation and public safety building was accepted after issues with the project being over budget in 2017.

The new GMP comes after the county’s contractor, Turner Construction Company, presented an estimate in October 2017 that was $7.1 million over the county’s construction cost limitation (CCL) of $78 million.
