Board asks for written cost and status update on Harris Street project after change orders
Summary
Board members asked Public Works for a written project-status report on the Harris Street drainage and sewer work after staff reported pipe installation and notified the board of two utility-conflict change orders.
Board members requested a written status update from Public Works covering costs, change orders and schedule for the Harris Street project after staff reported construction progress and flagged two utility conflicts.
EDC staff reported the contractor completed installation of 36-inch drainage pipes for the first phase of Harris Street and that sanitary sewer line installation for the area has been completed, with excavation for a detention pond to follow. Staff also reported two locations have utility conflicts that require change orders; change orders are being processed. A board member noted the EDC had funded the project and requested clarity on whether change-order costs would require additional EDC funds or be covered by other city budgets.
Board members asked for a written dashboard-style update that includes cost-to-date, total budget, change-order amounts, and a cost-performance index or other indicators that show whether the project is on budget. Staff said they will request Public Works provide a written report addressing those items and, if needed, schedule Public Works staff to appear at a future meeting to answer follow-up questions.
The request aims to ensure the EDC and city leadership have timely, transparent project accounting as work proceeds.
