Council ratifies change order adding curb and contingency repairs on Franklin/Valley stormwater project
Summary
Dalton City ratified Change Order No. 3 for the Franklin Street and Valley Drive stormwater bypass project to add roughly 1,400 linear feet of curb, irrigation repair contingency and a four-week extension; the change order cost is $84,905.65 and a council member abstained due to a family adjacency.
Dalton City Mayor and Council on Oct. 20 ratified Change Order No. 3 for the Franklin Street and Valley Drive stormwater bypass project. The modification adds approximately 1,400 linear feet of curb and includes a contingency for irrigation-system repairs that could arise during construction. The change order price presented to the council was $84,905.65.
Public works staff said residents requested the curb installation along a corridor that currently lacks curb and gutter. Staff also reported the contractor requested a four-week extension — the second extension — moving the projected completion date to Dec. 1, 2025. A staff presenter explained part of the delay is due to Dalton Utilities performing sewer pipe work in the corridor.
The motion to ratify passed after a council vote; the meeting transcript records one abstention from a council member who asked the clerk to reflect they were abstaining because an immediate family member lives adjacent to the project corridor. The council did not record a full roll-call tally in the provided transcript.
