Amador County Courthouse Project: On Time & On Budget

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.
