Summary
The board approved a $231,621.98 decrease to the Dye Brothers contract (Stanley Ave U1029), a $440,618.38 deduct final change order to MAC Construction for lift-station divisions B/C, and Amendment 2b for Commonwealth Engineers (final design fee cited as $222,796.99). The transcript lists two different small amendment amounts at separate points; the board approved the amendment regardless.
At the Sept. 3 Evansville Water and Sewer Utility Board meeting staff presented and the board approved multiple contract adjustments and a design amendment.
Jennifer presented Change Order No. 1 to Dye Brothers Lumber and Construction Inc. for the Stanley Avenue water main replacement project (U1029). Staff described the change order as a $231,621.98 decrease reflecting final quantity adjustments, five new pay items and a 24-day contract time extension; the new contract amount was stated as $2,267,655.02. The board approved the change order by voice vote.
A second presentation covered Change Order No. 4 for MAC Construction and Excavating Inc., described as the final quantity adjustment for divisions B and C of the Williamsburg (record also references "Waynesford") Yard Lift Station Phase 1 B/C force main and interceptor. Staff recorded a deduct amount of $440,618.38 (about a 1.4% decrease) and a final contract value of $30,910,943.92; the presenter described an overall net decrease of $247,556.08 from the initial contract value to final. The board approved the final closeout change order for divisions B and C; division A remains ongoing.
Staff then sought approval of Amendment 2b for Commonwealth Engineers for the Senate Avenue, Petersburg, Weaver and Campground Road water main replacement project. The presentation listed a final designer fee of $222,796.99 and described alignment modifications and a more complex maintenance-of-traffic plan developed after field verification. The transcript records the amendment amount first as $4,475.69 and later as $4,236.69 at the motion; the board approved the amendment by voice vote. The record shows board members discussed the recent boil advisory and communication with customers during the project’s construction timeline.
Board members asked a few clarifying questions; staff said division A of the lift station project remains underway and that designer and contractor inspection records supported the MAC Construction adjustments.
The motions to approve each change order and the amendment carried by voice vote.
