Kokomo board approves contract modification, pay applications and partial retainage release for Northeast Sanitary Sewer Extension Phase 2
Summary
The board approved contract modification number 4 (net change -$38,822.93) for the Northeast Sanitary Sewer Extension Phase 2, accepted payment application No. 6 for $19,598.19, and approved a partial release of retainage of $66,413.35 while holding back funds for final grading and seeding.
KOKOMO, Ind. — The Board of Public Works and Safety on July 30 approved a contract modification and two payment actions for the Northeast Sanitary Sewer Extension Phase 2 project, the engineering department said.
John Pike, the city’s director of engineering (referenced in the record), presented contract modification number 4 for the project. The modification reduces costs for select paving and other items while increasing costs to change pipe material for a water-main crossing. The net effect of the change order is a decrease of $38,822.93. The engineering presentation listed the final contract price as $1,599,115.07 after prior modifications.
The board approved the modification by motion and voice vote.
The board then approved payment application No. 6 in the amount of $19,598.19, with $1,031.48 placed into a retainage account. The payment application and quantities were certified by the contractor, Atlas Excavating Inc., and the project consultant, Donahue & Associates.
Later the board approved payment application No. 7 and a partial release of retainage: the board authorized releasing $66,413.35 while retaining the remaining retainage until outstanding items are satisfied. The engineering department identified the outstanding items as final grading and seeding.
All three actions were presented as recommended by the engineering department and were approved by voice vote with the board answering “Aye.”
The project record as presented listed the original contract amount at $988,120 and the current total cost after modifications at $1,599,115.07; prior intermediate modification totals were referenced by staff but not fully detailed on the meeting record.
