Commission approves $91,257 change order and releases $55,040 retainage for pump project; loan repayment to come from sewer bills
Summary
Commissioners approved a change order of $91,257 for a wastewater pump project (a net increase of about $40,000 relative to prior adjustments), and released pay request #17 (retainage $55,040). Officials said the project was funded via a mortgage-style loan application of up to $1.2 million, roughly $600,000 drawn so far, with repayment through sewer charges.
The board approved a change order totaling $91,257 for a wastewater pump project after staff described a hydraulic miscalculation between the lagoon and the pump house.
Speaker 2 presented the change order amount and Speaker 3 explained that previous adjustments left an outstanding net change of about $40,000. Speaker 3 said the county had applied for a loan of up to $1,200,000 to support the project and had drawn about $600,000 to date; the additional change order and related payments will be managed via the mortgage loan fund and repaid through sewer-billing receipts.
Commissioners also voted to release pay request number 17 (a retainage amount of $55,040) after staff said they had received answers to earlier questions about project performance. The board recorded roll-call approval for both the change order and the pay request release.
Several procedural details in the record were unclear or garbled (for example, prior line-item language and some earlier amounts were difficult to parse verbatim in the transcription); the board's direction was to proceed with the change order and to release the retainage once documentation was received.
