Temporary Certificate of Occupancy
Submitted for:	Melinda Mata	Submitted By:	Melinda Mata
Department:	County Judge


Subject:
Discussion and possible action to authorize the Webb County Engineering Department in conjunction with Frank Architects to expedite a temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Webb County Sheriff’s Office Building with discussion and possible action and any other matters incident thereto; also, a presentation to Commissioners Court regarding the project status will be presented by Frank Architects. Issue: The completion of the Webb County Sheriff's Office project is pending the delivery of generators, roof replacement, and elevator refurbishment. As per City regulations, all pending items must be finished before the building can be occupied, and a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued. Solution: To expedite the occupancy process, discussions with the City of Laredo are underway to obtain a temporary Certificate of Occupancy. The main Critical Path element is primarily the replacement of the building roof, which needs completion for final inspections and overall project finalization. Once the roof replacement is finished, the remaining work on generators and elevator refurbishment will continue, leading to the issuance of the final Certificate of Occupancy. Result: Occupancy of the Webb County Sheriff's Office will be achieved sooner with the potential for a temporary Certificate of Occupancy, allowing for early use of the building while remaining compliant with city regulations and simultaneously continue through completion of the project by others not responsible to the General Contractor.
