Toquerville council approves change order for Joplin Parkway asphalt overlay
Summary
At a March 25 special meeting the Toquerville City Council approved Change Order No. 18 to authorize an asphalt overlay and associated work on Joplin Parkway, with council members discussing mobilization fees and authorizing spending up to $3.4 million.
The Toquerville City Council on March 25 approved Change Order No. 18 to authorize an asphalt overlay and associated work on Joplin Parkway, with a motion that included authorization for spending up to $3.4 million.
Council members said the state and project engineers have approved the work and the change order would allow the contractor to proceed. “The state's approved it. The engineers approved it. Everybody's approved it. We just need to get approved,” said the presiding officer during the discussion.
Councilmember (speaker 5) moved to approve Change Order No. 18 “up to $3,400,000.” The presiding officer seconded the motion. The council conducted a roll-call vote; during roll call at least one council member responded “Aye,” and the motion carried. The transcript does not record a full, named roll-call tally.
Members briefly discussed mobilization charges, which are additional fees contractors may charge when they must return equipment to a site after doing work elsewhere. One council member explained that separate mobilizations occur when contractors leave for other jobs and then return, and that those additional mobilizations are the basis for change-order charges.
The council did not identify a specific funding source for the change order in the transcript. No amendments were recorded.
The special meeting continued with a second change-order item after the vote; the meeting was then adjourned.
