Tipton approves change orders for Tipton Trails project, including $11,732 reduction
Summary
The Tipton City board approved change orders 1–4 for the Tipton Trails project, including a negotiated reduction of roughly $11,732. Board members approved the measures by voice vote and discussed which fund will cover overages.
The Tipton City Board of Public Safety approved change orders 1 through 4 for the Tipton Trails project, including a negotiated reduction of approximately $11,732, the board heard.
Staff said the change orders reflect concrete overages and later reductions after negotiations with Morphy Construction. One board member asked which fund would pay the overages; staff said the final catchall fund (described in the meeting transcript as the project’s edit/catchall) would cover the amount.
A motion to accept change orders 1, 2 and 3 — and a subsequent motion and second to include change order 4 — passed by voice vote. The board recorded no roll-call tally in the meeting transcript.
Board members asked for a clarification about funding sources before approving the item and were told the appropriate contingency fund will be used. The board directed staff to proceed with the approved change orders and to report back if additional funding decisions are needed.
Ending: The board passed the change orders and moved on to department reports; staff will confirm the specific fund used for the overages and provide follow-up accounting at a later meeting.
