Board recommends $37,000 change control to repair cracks found during wet-weather upgrades
Summary
During construction of wet-weather upgrades, crews found cracks in concrete walls; the board approved a $37,000 change control to repair the cracks from contingency funds, leaving an estimated remaining contingency of $65,000.
The Water Resources Board recommended a $37,000 change-control to repair concrete cracks discovered during the wet-weather upgrades construction.
Staff said the cracks are outside the original scope and need repair so they do not grow and cause future problems. The original project contingency was $300,000; after the requested repair the remaining contingency would be about $65,000. The board voted to recommend the change to the county.
Staff characterized the requested amount as necessary to address an unanticipated construction issue and said they hope the remaining contingency will be sufficient for future issues.
The board approved the recommendation by voice vote and asked staff to continue monitoring the construction scope and contingency usage.
