Hot Springs staff seek board approval for $84,425 change order on new water treatment plant
Summary
Engineering staff presented Change Order No. 9 to the new water treatment plant contract, covering 12 items and totaling $84,425. The amount exceeds the city manager approval threshold; staff said Christian Engineers recommended the changes and funding will come from the 2023 board-approved water bond/fund.
Todd Piller, engineering project manager, presented Change Order No. 9 for the city’s new water treatment plant. Piller said the change order contains 12 distinct items that Christian Engineers recommended and that the change order total of $84,425 exceeds the city manager’s approval limit of $60,000, necessitating board approval.
Piller told directors all documentation supporting the change order — itemized descriptions, engineer recommendation letters and related contract paperwork — will be included in the board packet. He said the changes are necessary and will be funded from the 2023 board-approved water bond/fund.
Directors asked whether any single item was materially larger than the others; Piller replied the items were relatively small individual adjustments and that full documentation is in the packet. The resolution (R25-201) will be before the board for action on Nov. 4.
