The Gadsden City Council approved Resolution No. ___ (recorded as agenda item 9) authorizing Change Order No. 1 for bid number 3567, the city's 2024 resurfacing project, reconciling pay item additions and deletions and reducing the contract amount with Vulcan Materials Asphalt and Construction LLC.
The meeting record states the change order reduces the contract by $153,462.08, resulting in a final contract amount of $668,885.27. Councilman Wilson noted that while change orders often increase final costs, in this instance "we actually were able to, to reduce the amount that was budgeted in our budget. So this actually results in a $153,462 in savings over what was actually budgeted."
The council adopted the resolution by voice vote; no roll-call tally or individual member votes were recorded in the meeting transcript. The record does not list contract start/finish dates or project completion status beyond the description that the change order reconciles pay item adjustments ordered through construction.
