Board recommends $318,402.60 change order for avenue sewer/pavement work to city commission
Summary
Staff told the board that deeper excavations, additional pavement replacement and unforeseen utility work produced a net change order for the Avenue Phase 2/3 project; the board voted to recommend the $318,402.60 change order to the city commission.
City engineering staff requested the board recommend that the City Commission approve a change order for Jim Boyd Construction to cover a net overrun of $318,402.60 on the Avenue Phase 2/3 project. The project required unexpected sewer service work, deeper trenching than estimated, additional pavement replacement widths and some gas line work and driveway/drive‑turnout repairs.
Staff explained portions of the overrun were offset by contingencies and by in‑house work (bypass pumping done internally), but clarified that line‑item variances (deeper cuts, extra pavement width, unforeseen rock excavation and unsuitable material replacement) drove the net additional cost. Board members asked about architect/engineer sign‑offs on the pay request; staff confirmed the necessary engineering certification is on file and would be attached.
The board moved to recommend the change order to the City Commission; votes were recorded and the motion carried with one ‘no’ vote by Mister Collier noted in the roll call.
Next steps: staff will forward the change‑order documentation to the City Commission for final action and will provide the board with a final project close‑out schedule and any outstanding punch‑list items.
