In 2004, King County awarded a $14.2 million emergency contract for work on an electronic security system at the King County jail. Over a five year period, the contract grew in size with multiple change orders to more than $50 million. According to the audit, the change orders were for work unrelated to the original security system that was the basis of the original emergency declaration by the King County Council in 2003. The Auditor's report asserts that King County violated competitive bidding laws through adding the unrelated change orders to the contract.
