2901979 · April 8, 2025

Summary

The council approved change order No. 4 for the PWS RF Project No. 9 (water system improvement) for Timco Blasting Coatings Inc.; the change order was described as a small final reconciliation item and council accepted the project's completion status will be returned to the council at a later meeting.

The McAlester City Council approved change order No. 4 for Timco Blasting Coatings Inc. related to Public Works Project No. 9, a water system improvement that runs from Stonewall to Buffalo Tower and includes work on Second and Third streets.

City staff described the change order as the final reconciliatory adjustment for the multi-million-dollar project. “As part of the project...we would find water lines that we didn't know were there. Had to be tied and connected. ... So, several million dollar project in our final change orders of $2,324,” a staff speaker said while reviewing the final reconciliation. The agenda and the meeting packet list the change order amount as $2,354; the council approved the change order in the meeting.

A motion to approve was seconded by Councilor Gilmore; roll call recorded yes votes from Councilors Boatwright, Gilmore, Roden, Beatty and Pugh (as recorded in the roll), and the motion carried. Staff said the work is complete and that the council will be asked at a future meeting to accept the project as complete once all contractor paperwork is submitted.

The action authorizes the reported final reconciliation change order and begins the administrative closeout steps tied to the project.
