Summary
The Huron City Commission approved two change orders reducing 3rd Street Bridge contract costs and authorized final contractor payments totaling $43,737.68, closing out the long-running project. The state-funded aspects use two South Dakota DOT PCN numbers.
The Huron City Commission on Nov. 17 authorized final payments and approved balancing change orders for the 3rd Street Bridge project, closing out work that the city engineer said is complete.
City Engineer Brett Runge said the project’s epoxy overlay is finished and the recent items before the commission were balancing adjustments to quantities in the original bid. The commission approved Construction Change Order No. 1, a decrease of $1,125, and Construction Change Order No. 2, a decrease of $15,215. Runge also presented the contractor’s final pay request from BX Civil Construction: $33,363.98 for South Dakota DOT PCN 07TB and $10,373.70 for SD DOT PCN 08ER. Runge recommended the payments and the commission authorized the city engineer to sign the pay request.
The combined final payments total $43,737.68. Runge described the change orders as quantity reconciliations after the work finished, not new work orders: "We recommend approval of the change order," he told the commission.
All roll-call votes on the bridge items were recorded as affirmative. The commission recorded decreases to the contract amounts and closed the project administratively, with the city engineer handling final signatures.
The approvals affect the city’s PCN-listed, state-funded portions of the bridge project; Runge noted the state views some components as separate PCNs although the city considers it one project. The commission’s action completes the city-level contracting and payment steps for the 3rd Street Bridge.
