Board recommends $318,402.60 change order for Jim Boyd Construction to city commission
Summary
Staff presented a change‑order request for completed sewer and pavement work and asked the board to recommend payment to the city commission; the board voted to recommend the $318,402.60 change order, with one board member recorded as voting no.
The Albany Utility Board recommended that the City Commission approve a change order totaling $318,402.60 to Jim Boyd Construction covering additional quantities and unforeseen items on an ongoing sewer/pavement project.
Staff explained that deeper sewer cuts, additional pavement replacement widths, driveway turnouts and an extension of gas service contributed to the net increase; some contingency line items were not used and offset portions of the overrun. The project manager said much of the work had already been completed and presented a line‑item explanation for the net amount.
During questions, board members asked about architect or engineer sign‑offs and about the timing for final completion of different phases; staff said the architect certification had been obtained and outlined remaining plant and pump‑station tasks with estimated timelines (30–180 days for certain items). The board voted to recommend the change order to the city commission; roll‑call votes were recorded with one member voting no.
Next steps: staff will forward the recommendation and payment request to the City Commission for formal approval and complete remaining punch‑list items on the project.
