Council signs change order and approves pay application as Central Basin Phase 4 nears closeout
Summary
Council authorized change order No. 4 and approved pay application No. 17 for Central Basin Phase 4, reconciling final quantities and withholding funds for unresolved neighbor claims; staff reported the project remains within the overall funding package.
The Lennox City Council authorized the mayor to sign change order No. 4 and approved pay application No. 17 for the Central Basin Phase 4 project as the construction moves into closeout.
Project engineers said the change order reconciles final quantities and addresses two categories of additional cost: subgrade stabilization (about $87,000) caused by poor soils in one area and asphalt quantity adjustments (about $46,000). Staff emphasized the change order is a balancing adjustment that offsets under-runs and over-runs across pay items to reflect the actual constructed quantities.
The packet included an updated funding summary showing the project’s assembled loans and grants total ($10.2 million) and an anticipated final construction cost in the neighborhood of $9.7–$9.9 million after accounting for items such as Burlington Northern work that had not been fully itemized in early estimates. Staff said some funds remain withheld to cover a possible claim for property damage involving a neighbor and that a final warranty inspection and seasonal items (seeding) remain to complete before final closeout.
The council approved the mayor signing the change order and approved the pay application by voice vote; the transcript records aye/oppose statements but no detailed roll-call counts. Staff said they will continue to track closeout punch-list items and warranty inspections into the spring.
