Loading...
Summary
Council authorized a $93,000 change order to Teague, Now Perkins, Inc. to finalize scope and services for the long-running Hubbard Drive roadway improvement project after staff described multiple scope changes over several years and cited lower-than-expected construction bids.
The Heath City Council authorized payment of an additional $93,000 under the existing engineering contract with Teague, Now Perkins, Inc. (TMP) to complete scope changes and services related to the Hubbard Drive roadway improvement project.
Staff said the roadway project has spanned multiple years with repeated scope changes — including adjustments triggered by a bridge issue, a requested widening and subsequent re-sizing, new ingress/egress points and the potential siting of a school that altered curb and drainage plans. Staff described the change order as a cleanup of a series of outstanding services and directed the city manager to finalize documentation to memorialize the payment.
A motion to approve the payment and authorize the city manager to execute related documents was moved and seconded; the council approved the $93,000 change order unanimously. Councilmembers noted recent bid results were lower than initial cost expectations and said they want to finalize open engineering items to allow the project to proceed.
The city did not provide a detailed line-item breakdown of the $93,000 in the verbal presentation; council discussion referenced the need to close historic scope gaps before full construction activity proceeds.
