County approves corrected Reeves Construction contract figure for Hardeman Managed Road widening
Summary
After negotiations and a clerical error found in Reeves Construction’s estimating inputs, staff presented a corrected contract figure for the Hardeman Managed Road widening project; the commission approved the corrected amount by consent.
The Public Works staff recommended and the committee approved a correction to the contract with Reeves Construction for the Hardeman Managed Road widening project after Reeves identified a clerical error in their bid calculations.
Staff said the board had approved a contract figure last month. Reeves, while reentering numbers into their accounting software, discovered that a grading credit had been transferred with an incorrect haul/borrow rate. That led Reeves to ask for a correction before signing. County staff and management reviewed Reeves’ revised numbers and recommended the corrected contract amount.
In the meeting transcript staff cited two figures: a previously discussed approved amount referenced as about $43,700,000 and a corrected figure of $40,651,012.27 that staff said was the new rate after the review. Staff recommended approval of the correction and the committee approved it by consent. The transcript does not include a roll-call or recorded vote totals; no further contract exhibits or change-order documents were presented in the discussion.
