Council approves library pay application and change orders; data‑ports cost added late in contract
Summary
Council approved pay application No. 11 for the new Cascade Public Library and accepted change orders for Garland Construction; city staff said data ports and related network work were not included in the original contract and were added near project completion.
The Cascade City Council approved Resolution No. 06‑25 on Jan. 13, authorizing pay application No. 11 for the Cascade Public Library project, and later approved Resolution No. 08‑25 to accept change orders for Garland Construction related to the project.
Council discussion said that data ports and certain network infrastructure costs were not included in the original construction contract because the exact needs were unknown at the time of bidding; those items were added late in the project and are reflected in the change orders. City staff indicated the additional cost stemmed from previously unknown specifications rather than an omission that should have been included in original bid documents.
The council voted to approve the pay application and the change orders by roll call; recorded votes were unanimous ayes in the meeting transcript.
The pay application and change orders are part of ongoing work to complete the new library; the transcript does not specify dollar amounts for the change orders or pay application in the council discussion, and the meeting packet should be consulted for exact figures.
