Commission approves several change orders for water and creek wall projects
Summary
The commission authorized multiple change orders: a decrease of $275,846.27 on Madison Water System Improvement Phase 1A (Change Order #7), a decrease of $57,097.52 on Phase 1B (Change Order #3), and a Park Creek Walls alternate that shifts local cost to about $12,588.30; FEMA/state coordination was noted.
Staff presented a package of change orders for ongoing capital projects and asked the commission to authorize the mayor’s signature for each. Change Order #7 (Madison Water System Improvement Phase 1A, J & J Burke Works) adjusts final quantities and reduces the project amount by $275,846.27; staff noted liquidated damages remain to be settled on the final pay request. The commission authorized the mayor to sign the change order.
Change Order #3 (Madison Water System Improvement Phase 1B, J & J Burke Works) likewise reflects an adjustment to final quantities with a decrease of $57,097.52; the commission approved mayoral authorization to sign.
For Park Creek Walls Sites 1 and 3, staff described encountering a reinforced rock wall adjacent to the Presbyterian Church that required an alternate, least‑cost approach (demo top portion, install slope reinforcement, monitor vibrations) to protect the church and avoid lengthy permit delays. The total local share of the change order was presented as approximately $12,588.30 after a federal/state/local split (federal ~75%, state ~10%, local ~15%). Staff said they coordinated with South Dakota Emergency Management and FEMA and received no indication of objection; the commission authorized the mayor to sign the change order.
