Fairhope council approves zero-cost change order to move test well to Wagner site
Summary
Council approved change order No. 1 to Bid 24-058 to relocate a test well from Water Treatment Plant No. 1 to the Wagner site, awarding the change order to Morrow Technologies with no cost difference, contingent on right-of-entry approval.
The Fairhope City Council approved change order No. 1 for Bid 24-058 — the Fairhope Water System test well project — to move a test well site from Water Treatment Plant No. 1 to the Wagner site and awarded the change order to Morrow Technologies at no additional cost.
The item was walked onto the agenda at the request of Daryl Moreland, the city's water supervisor, who told staff that the Wagner site offered a better chance of finding usable water. The resolution and change order were described in the meeting as contingent on right-of-entry approval for the Wagner property; council members were told there is no cost difference between the original site and the Wagner site.
The council moved, seconded and approved authorization for Mayor Sherry Sullivan to execute change order No. 1 and to award the work to Morrow Technologies. The motion passed on a voice vote recorded in the transcript as 'aye.' The council did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting transcript.
Staff did not provide an updated construction schedule in the meeting transcript; the change order is conditioned on right-of-entry clearance before work at the Wagner site can proceed.
