Ramsey County authorizes $71,335 change order to repair soft spots on ongoing contract
Loading...
Summary
Commissioners authorized the chair to sign a change order of roughly $71,335 to address soft spots and related work; staff said the change order increases the current contract to about $7.73 million.
Ramsey County commissioners authorized a contract change order of $71,335 to address soft spots, geosynthetic fabric and related excavation on an existing county contract.
County staff explained the change order covers geosynthetic material, fabric and common excavation needed to cure soft spots. A staff member described the change-order amount as $71,335 and said it increases the total contract amount to about $7.73 million.
There was some clarification during the discussion that part of a previously referenced $40,000 was included in the $71,335 payment and that the change order is being added into the current contract total. A staff member said, “This change order goes to $71.03 82, and that changes the total contract amount for $7,730,007.47,” language recorded in the meeting tape.
A motion was made to authorize the chairman to sign the change order; a second was recorded and the motion carried on a voice vote. Commissioners instructed staff to have the auditor and chair finalize signing as required by county procedure.
The record does not show a roll-call tally for the vote; commissioners indicated “Aye” by voice when the motion was called. No additional amendments to the contract were recorded during the meeting.
Staff did not provide a detailed invoice or breakdown beyond the line items discussed at the meeting; any further cost clarifications will depend on subsequent contract paperwork and audit review.
