Council approves emergency sewer change order for repairs at Robinson Foundry and amends FY25 budget

Alexander City Council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a change order with Hussian Services for emergency sewer repairs at Robinson Foundry and to amend the FY25 budget to cover the additional work.

During the agenda discussion, staff said the change order covered additional work discovered while crews were on site, specifically work related to the flood line and other damage uncovered during repair operations. The item was presented as an amendment to the FY25 budget to incorporate the additional cost for repairs.

The council approved the resolution by roll call. Councilor Eric Graham, Councilor Chris Brown, Councilor Phillips, Councilor Tapley, Councilor Dorey and the chair all recorded affirmative votes. The presentation characterized the change order as covering “additional stuff they had to do while they were at got in and saw the damage” and identified flood-line work as part of that scope.

The resolution authorizes the mayor to finalize the change order with Hussian Services; the transcript did not specify the dollar amount of the change order or the precise line-item amended in the FY25 budget. Councilors did not set a date for completion; staff will return with documentation required by procurement and finance.
