Board recommends $318,402 change order for Jim Boyd Construction to city commission
Summary
The board recommended that the city commission approve a $318,402.60 change order for Jim Boyd Construction to cover additional sewer, pavement and other unforeseen items on a street project; the motion passed with one recorded 'No.'
The Albany Office Building Board recommended on Aug. 14 that the city commission approve a change order to Jim Boyd Construction for $318,402.60 to cover additional work and quantity overruns on a multi‑phase street and utility project.
Staff explained the overruns were driven by unforeseen site conditions — additional sewer service runs, deeper pavement replacement than estimated, concrete driveway and intersection work, and extra gas runs. Some overruns were offset by contingency items and savings in other line items, but the net change resulted in the $318,402.60 figure presented to the board.
Board members asked whether architect and engineering certifications were in place; staff said the pay request did include necessary engineering sign‑offs and that the missing architect signature would be obtained. Staff also outlined remaining work and estimated completion of most pavement and service items within the next two months, with plant and pump‑station work extending further.
The board moved to recommend the change order to the city commission. Roll call votes were recorded; the motion passed with a majority (one member recorded a 'No'). The recommendation now goes to the city commission for final action.
Next steps: staff will secure outstanding signatures, prepare the commission agenda item and present the request for final approval.
