The Village of Jackson Board of Public Works on Oct. 28 approved the final change order and multiple pay requests tied to the 2024 wastewater treatment plant tertiary filters and UV disinfection project and recommended a loan reimbursement to the Clean Water Fund.

The board approved change order No. 2 (final) for the 2024 wastewater project (motion by Board member Engelhardt, second by Board member Kripke) and approved pay request No. 18 to contractor JH Hassinger for $28,036.59 (motion by Board member Engelhardt, second by Board member Mitchell) and pay request No. 19 (final) to JH Hassinger for $230,930.58 (motion by Board member Engelhardt, second by Board member Sandlebeck). The board also recommended that the Budget Committee and Village Board approve reimbursement request No. 15 to the Clean Water Fund loan in the amount of $296,155.05 (motion by Board member Engelhardt, second by Board member Mitchell). Each motion carried by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.

Jack, Director of Public Works, provided financial context, saying he had "a preliminary report, not a final report, but it looks like we're going to come in somewhere between 150 200,000 under budget on this whole project." He cautioned the figure was preliminary. Staff also said they expect one additional loan reimbursement connected to final engineering and the new operations and maintenance manual.

The project contractor named in the pay requests is JH Hassinger. Cedar Corp (the village's consultant engineer) indicated staff should expect a final change order and additional pay request at the November Board of Public Works meeting reflecting higher quantities than originally bid, the transcript said.
