Amador County’s second
major construction project, the new county courthouse, is being completed on
time and on budget. GSA
Director John Hopkins said, “We are well below what we would consider industry
standards for change orders or contingencies with all of the information we
have right now. We are about 2.3% in contingencies and typically contingencies
for remodel projects are any where from 7-10%.” The project to move the courthouse to its new
location at 500 Argonaut Lane was a natural transition for the county that had
out grown its administration center and was being required to find an American
with Disability Act compliant facility for the Amador County Superior Court.
Please take notice that the Amador Superior Court will
be moving its operations to a new facility and beginning June 25, 2007, all
court proceedings will be held at 500 Argonaut Lane, Jackson. According to the court,
if you have received notice of a hearing or other court proceeding that is
scheduled for a date after June 22, 2007, including Jury Duty notices, the
hearing will occur at the new facility. In addition, the offices of the
Court Clerk, Jury Commissioner, Family Law Facilitator, Self-Help Services,
Family Court Services Director and all other court services and programs will
also be moving to this new location. Superior Court filings, payment of fines
and fees (including Traffic fines) and requests for review and copies of court
records will be processed at the new facility as well. After June 22, 2007, no court operations will be
conducted at the courthouse located at 108 Court Street.
