Board approves $14,650 in change orders for Community Services Building repairs

The Muscatine County Board of Supervisors approved two change orders for repairs at the Community Services Building on Nov. 10.

Project staff explained change order #1 for $11,250 covers stone replacement on the front ramp based on unit pricing in the contract and a post-start count of units. Change order #2 for $3,400 covers additional membrane work and repair of parapet areas on the roof; staff said a temporary membrane was installed to stop active water infiltration and that a steel cap will be added later as part of the approved project scope. Repair of deteriorated handrails and window-well guardrails was also described.

Brandon Hatcher (project management) and county staff recommended approval; Supervisor (Speaker 3) moved and Supervisor (Speaker 4) seconded the motion to approve both change orders. The motion passed by voice vote.
