Court approves change order for Hull Fresh Water Supply District No. 1 well project, records ~$152,000 ARPA savings
Summary
The Commissioners Court approved Change Order No. 1 for the Hull Fresh Water Supply District No. 1 water well project, lowering the contract by about $152,000 to a new total of $835,609.03. Discussion centered on whether ARPA savings would revert to the county or benefit the water district/city side.
The Commissioners Court approved Oct. 28 Change Order No. 1 to the construction contract for the Hull Fresh Water Supply District No. 1 water well project, which revises construction parameters and produces anticipated savings of approximately $152,000. The change order establishes a new contract total of $835,609.03. The project is funded by ARPA funds.
Commissioners asked whether the $152,000 savings could be reallocated to other county projects. County staff and counsel said the saving likely applies to the ARPA award and may be redistributed only to other ARPA-eligible line items or to the entity that provided funds; they noted existing deadlines and restrictions tied to ARPA funding and said the county would clarify whether the savings would be applied to the city or the county-side project.
The court approved the change order by voice vote.
