County discusses Chemours-funded waterline change order to serve additional contaminated wells; change order cost about $156,239 requested
Summary
Public works staff described a proposed contract change order, paid by Chemours, to shift scope from one loop to serve eight residences on Preeti Hall Road with contaminated wells. The requested additional cost was roughly $156,239; commissioners asked staff questions about outreach to one isolated homeowner on a loop line.
County public works staff briefed commissioners on a proposed change order to a Chemours-funded waterline installation intended to serve residents whose wells were contaminated.
The presenter said existing work on U.S. 87 and a portion of Home Loop has been installed and that the contractor proposed shifting scope to extend service to eight residents on Preeti Hall Road who have contaminated wells. That change would increase the contract cost by about "$156,000, 239" as read in the transcript; staff clarified the additional cost was roughly $156,239.
Staff described the contractor's progress and efficiency, noting the firm laid approximately 2,100 feet of pipe in a single day and has been moving quickly. Commissioners asked about one household on Home Loop that is about 2,000 feet from the main line and has not responded to outreach; staff said Chemours and its contractors have conducted multiple tests, sent letters and maintain a hotline for residents. Staff said Chemours also offers whole‑house filtration systems for homeowners who cannot be cost‑effectively connected to the distribution line.
The presentation requested approval of the change order to shift scope and serve the Preeti Hall Road residents. The transcript records discussion and questions about homeowner outreach and alternatives, but does not include a recorded vote on the change order in the public portion of the transcript.
