Altus approves $133,252.57 change order for landfill contract
Summary
Council approved Change Order No. 3 to the municipal landfill contract with TRICARE Group LLC for an increased contract amount of $133,252.57 after onsite conditions (limestone) required additional work.
The City of Altus City Council approved Change Order No. 3 to the contract with TRICARE Group LLC (Oklahoma City) for work related to the municipal landfill’s construction and demolition sale, increasing contract fees by $133,252.57.
Staff explained the contractor discovered limestone on site, which required additional measures and work beyond the original scope; the change order adjusts the contract price accordingly. A council member asked for clarification of the total contract cost; staff responded that the additional fee reflects the work discovered once crews were onsite.
The council voted to approve the change order by roll call.
Why it matters: The additional cost will increase the total contract expenditure for the landfill work and will be reflected in the project accounting; staff did not provide the full original contract total in the meeting discussion.
What’s next: Staff will finalize the change order paperwork and proceed with the adjusted scope and payment to the contractor.
