Committee approves change order for home repair at 250 First Street under CDBG lead program
Summary
The committee approved a cost and scope change order to MAK Environmental’s construction contract for home repair at 250 First Street after crews found a corroded sewer line in the slab; staff said the work will be funded through the city’s CDBG-funded "Let's Paint/Renovate" program.
The committee approved a cost and scope change order to the construction contract with MAK Environmental for home repair and renovation services at 250 First Street after crews discovered additional damage while repairing a leaking water line.
Chip (city staff) said crews patched a leaking water line in the slab and discovered a corroded two-inch ductile iron sewer line that required rerouting. He described tapping into an 8-inch sewer main in the front yard and rerouting the house sewer out the side or back of the house. Chip also said the repair is being funded through the city's CDBG-funded "Let's Paint/Renovate" program.
Staff said the homeowner’s water bills had been high (Chip referenced a prior $300 monthly bill) and that the additional sewer work was needed after excavation revealed the rusted line. The committee approved the change order by voice vote; no dollar amount for the change order was read into the record at the meeting.
