Brandon council approves street concrete change order, pay applications and equipment purchases
Summary
Council approved a change order and pay applications for concrete repair and Exit 406 projects, declared a 2024 Ford Explorer surplus for auction, and authorized purchase of a 1‑ton truck for $51,002.89.
The Brandon City Council approved several public‑works items, including a change order and pay applications for concrete repairs, authorization to purchase a one‑ton truck, and a pay application for the Exit 406 project.
Public works staff reported that additional miscellaneous concrete work on Hemlock and Holly Boulevards was missed in the original bid set. The project is about $60,000 under bid quantities; change order No. 2 would add roughly $40,000 but leave the contract under the original bid amount, staff said. Council voted to approve change order No. 2 and pay application No. 2 by voice vote; the mayor announced the motions carried.
Council also approved pay applications for the Exit 406 project and released retainage. Staff said one exit ramp should be open in about a week and the other in about two weeks, weather dependent. The council approved a motion to declare a 2024 Ford Explorer surplus; staff will place the vehicle on the next state auction schedule. The council authorized purchase of a one‑ton truck from Lam Motors under the state bid at a total cost of $51,002.89; the purchase was budgeted.
Councilmembers and staff noted weather and scheduling factors for remaining concrete work and the schedule for Exit 406 ramps, and that routine administrative follow up will complete the procurement and auction steps.
