Commissioners approve $9,190 in change orders for All Seasons Arena repairs; contingency reduced
Summary
Two change orders totaling $9,190.36 for All Seasons Arena — $7,940.36 for additional saw cutting and panel painting and $1,250 for removal of decommissioned gas lines — were approved on July 22, reducing the project's contingency to $152,545.20.
Blue Earth County commissioners on July 22 approved two change orders totaling $9,190.36 for the All Seasons Arena renovation project, reducing the project's contingency to $152,545.20.
Administration staff reported a $7,940.36 change order for additional saw cutting related to removal of a former lobby, foundation work and painting of existing metal panels behind former bleachers. A second $1,250 change order covered removal of decommissioned gas lines servicing the North Rink. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the two change orders.
County staff told commissioners the project is nearing completion and they expect it to finish within a couple of months but cautioned that a few additional change orders are still likely. Presenters said the contractor had to stage work to keep some ice operations open during construction, which extended timelines compared with a full shutdown.
The transcript records no line-item vendor names for the change orders beyond the general contractor references earlier in the packet, and it does not provide a revised overall project budget beyond the remaining contingency figure. The board did not request additional financial details at the July 22 meeting.
