Drainage board awards excavation contracts and approves Fillmore Road change order
Summary
The board awarded several excavation contracts (Bailey, Veil/Veil Excavating) and approved a $26,127 change order for Fillmore Road structure backfill, subject to Redevelopment Commission funding resolution.
The St. Joseph County Drainage Board approved awards for several excavation contracts and accepted the payments list presented at the meeting.
Staff opened bids and reported multiple proposals for excavation work. The board voted to award a contract at $55,125 to Veil Excavating (as read in the bid list) and approved Bailey for work at $33,333 on another proposal after motions and voice votes. The payments list presented by staff was accepted without objection.
A change order (Change Order #2) for the Fillmore Road structure was described by county staff and the project manager as necessary to replace an intended recycled concrete option with 53 limestone to match subgrade treatment; this additional work was estimated at about $26,127 and had already been performed to keep the construction schedule. The board approved the change order with the caveat that the Redevelopment Commission would be asked to present a funding resolution at its next meeting to account for the added cost.
Motions to accept payments, award contracts and approve the change order were seconded and carried by voice vote. The board asked staff to ensure the Redevelopment Commission funding resolution is prepared so the change order can be funded without delay.
