Norwood committee approves WT Rich Change Order No. 26; transcript shows presentation totals that need clarification
Summary
The committee approved Change Order No. 26 for WT Rich (motion recorded at $72,882). The presenter reviewed multiple PCOs and a 'grand total' slide that conflicts with the motion; the transcript shows both figures and the discrepancy is noted.
NORWOOD, Mass. — The Town of Norwood Middle School Building Committee on Nov. 10 approved WT Rich Change Order No. 26 by unanimous roll-call vote after a presenter reviewed the individual project change orders included in it.
Luke, the project representative, led the review of PCOs said to be in Change Order No. 26. He listed individual items and costs: USB cabling and hover-cam additions for the interactive displays (listed as $28,158), relocation of a security camera ($366), two duplex outlets in the second-floor art room ($1,723), relocation and replanting of three trees ($4,453), a check valve to a backflow preventer ($517), replacement of locks on 35 ADA lockers with combination padlocks ($4,020), a grading correction at a sidewalk ($30,050), and an auditorium dedication plaque ($3,595).
When Luke summarized the slides he stated a "grand total, for change order $2,672,882 dollars." However, the member's motion to approve the change order recorded the amount as $72,882. The committee proceeded with the motion and approved the change order in a roll-call vote. Because the presentation contains conflicting totals, the committee packet and the project team's accounting should be checked to reconcile the figures.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about quantities (the presenter confirmed 69 displays required recabling and 69 hover-cams). The committee took a single formal action to approve the change order as moved; no separate amendment or deferral was recorded in the transcript.
The approval authorizes the contractor to proceed with the listed PCO work subject to standard contracting controls and reporting.
