Board approves final change order and payout for DD44 Lateral 40 project
Summary
Supervisors approved change order number 3 and a final pay application (minus retainage) for DD44 Lateral 40, recording that the final net change was about a 3% increase over the original contract.
The Kossuth County Board of Supervisors approved change order number 3 for the DD44 Lateral 40 drainage project and authorized the corresponding pay application, leaving retainage in place.
The county engineer explained the change order as a rectification of final quantities and noted that the net effect was approximately a 3% increase over the original contract amount. He said the largest items that contributed to the change order were connections between the old system and the new system that were not in the original scope.
A supervisor moved to approve the change order; the motion was seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote. The board then approved the payout (pay application number 5), again by unanimous vote, with retainage withheld as standard practice until final completion of minor punch‑list items.
The engineer said the field work is substantially complete, crews had televised the installed systems, and that only minor cleanup items remained. The board asked staff to continue monitoring crop‑damage claims and finish any outstanding punch list items before final retainage release.
