Mobridge council approves change order adding 150 tons to trail overlay project
Summary
At a special meeting, the Mobridge City Council approved Change Order No. 1 for the trail overlay project, authorizing up to 150 additional tons of material to raise low spots and smooth the trail; meeting text records an estimated additional cost of $21,006.22 and says the change remains within the grant guidelines.
The Mobridge City Council approved Change Order No. 1 for the city’s trail overlay project, authorizing up to 150 additional tons of material to raise low spots and smooth the trail during a special meeting (date not specified).
City staff told the council that recent heavy rains left standing water in low portions of the trail and that the project foreman requested extra material to bring those low spots up. Heather, a city staff member presenting the item, said the contractor asked for an additional 150 tons of material “to make the trail smooth.” Heather also said the contractor will only bill the city for material actually used.
The presenter described the additional cost in the meeting transcript as $21,006.22 (estimate). The presenter told the council the change order “still falls within the guidelines of the grant” and that the city’s additional share remained under the grant limit.
Council members asked technical questions before the vote. One council member asked, “And we’re just doing an inch and a half overlay, correct, in most spots?” Heather confirmed: in most places the overlay would be about an inch to an inch and a half; some low points will be filled higher, and a couple of spots will be cut out and replaced entirely.
A motion to approve Change Order No. 1 was moved and seconded (mover and seconder not specified in the meeting transcript). The council approved the change order on a roll-call vote, recorded as: Jenny — Yes; Amy — Yes; Curtis — Yes; Brent — Yes; Randy — Yes.
With no further business, the council moved to adjourn the special meeting.
Notes: The meeting transcript records the estimated additional cost as $21,006.22; parts of the cost-share figures for the state and city in the transcript were unclear and are recorded in clarifying details below as “not specified.”
