The Corinth City Council ratified a change order to its USIC utility line‑locate contract and authorized the city manager to execute the documents after staff reported the vendor’s bills exceeded the original amount for fiscal year 2025.

City staff explained the overage was tied to increased development and fiber installations across town that required additional locates. “USIC is our line locators. They went over budget, and the bills came in after,” City staff (Mr. Barker) said. Staff said state law requires the city to pay for utility line marking upfront and that the city cannot recover those costs from the vendor.

Staff asked the council to approve a revised total of $37,835 to cover the outstanding bills; the agenda item originally listed a lower change order amount. The council approved the ratification and change order and authorized the city manager to execute documents; the transcript records the vote as unanimous. Staff also said the city canceled the contract once the overage was discovered and began performing line locates in‑house.

No additional conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting transcript.
