Claremore approves $205,772 change order to keep concrete‑rehab contractor working in Westwood area
Summary
Council approved a $205,772.50 change order to the FY 2023–24 concrete street rehabilitation project to extend work in a nearby Westwood area, staying within the 10% public‑bid change‑order allowance and drawing on available budget.
The Claremore City Council approved Change Order No. 1 for the fiscal year 2023–24 concrete street rehabilitation project, increasing the contract by $205,772.50 to allow additional work in the Westwood area while the contractor is on site.
City staff described the original contract award at $2,100,000 and said the multi‑year street maintenance plan budgeted about $2,300,000 covering last year and this year. The additional $205,772.50 will keep the project within the typical 10% change‑order allowance on a public bid and use available budget for nearby streets identified in the maintenance study.
A staff presenter said the contractor’s performance and proximity to other streets made it efficient to add adjacent work now rather than remobilize later. The presenter thanked the contractor and inspectors for the speed of work, and councilmembers praised the approach while noting the maintenance plan guides street selection.
The council cast recorded votes in favor of the change order. The transcript records affirmative roll‑call responses from Michael, Spellman, Autumn, Callender, Long and Erwin during the item. No negative or abstaining votes were recorded in the transcript for this motion.
Staff said the city will continue annual pavement assessment and maintain a master services agreement with its pavement consultant for future planning.
