Engineer recommends change order to secure drainage easements for Stony Brook culvert replacement
Summary
Design for replacement of three Stony Brook culverts revealed lack of drainage easements; engineer recommended a roughly $7,500 change order to survey and prepare six legal descriptions needed for easement acquisition and design continuation.
The city engineer updated the board on the Stony Brook culvert replacement project. Design work had been awarded to Oates Associates for $21,000; during design staff discovered the culverts were not placed in drainage easements as originally expected. To proceed, Oates proposed a change order of about $7,500 to perform additional surveying and prepare six legal descriptions for drainage easements.
The engineer advised the board and said the work could be included as an RBA at the next meeting if the board wants to act formally on the change order. The board acknowledged the need for the easements to complete replacement design and construction planning.
