Council approves additional funds to finish generator project after fire-marshal requirement
Summary
Council approved a change order to the generator project to address bollards required by the fire marshal; staff said the contractor identified cost savings and requested a modest increase to finish work.
Council approved a change order on a municipal generator project after staff explained the fire marshal required bollards around the unit, which added cost. Staff reported the contractor located areas to reduce expenses and asked the council for additional funds to complete the project.
The presenter described the site as located near a dry pathway on the building’s east side and cited vehicle traffic (horse trailers and other large vehicles) that made bollard protection necessary. Staff characterized the additional requested funds as substantially less than an earlier estimate and moved to approve the change order on the consent agenda.
The motion to approve the change order passed with council members recording affirmative votes in the transcript. No detailed contract figures could be confirmed in the record because portions of the dollar amounts in the spoken record were garbled; staff provided the request on the consent agenda and the council approved the funding as presented.
