Council ratifies $36,000 HVAC change order for City Hall west wing
Summary
Council ratified change order 001 for the City Hall HVAC replacement project to add ductwork and air-control changes in the west wing; the $36,000 cost is within the project contingency in the CIP fund.
Dalton — The Dalton City Council on July 21 ratified change order 001 for the City Hall HVAC replacement project to add ductwork and air-control improvements in the west wing, including areas where previous interior work removed ductwork.
City staff explained that when renovations were made previously (when the school system occupied that floor), some new walls were added without accompanying ductwork, requiring additional mechanical work to provide adequate air control. The change order totaled $36,000. Staff said the project contingency in the capital improvements fund was about $150,000 and that the change order is the first to the contract; the work remains within the original project budget.
Why it matters: The change order ensures proper ventilation and HVAC performance for occupied city offices (including code enforcement and IT) and is funded from the project contingency.
What happens next: The contract will be updated and the contractor will perform the additional work under the approved change order.
