Daggett County Municipal Building Authority approves $351,255.34 waterproofing change order for Health Business and Community Center

The Daggett County Municipal Building Authority on Oct. 28 approved Change Order No. 2 for work to mitigate water intrusion under the Daggett County Health Business and Community Center, authorizing $351,255.34 for waterproofing materials and labor.

Speaker 3 described the scope of the work as ‘‘the work to mitigate the water coming in under the building’’ and said it includes waterproofing, rock, geogrid/fabric and related labor. Speaker 3 made the motion to approve Change Order No. 2; Speaker 1 recorded the motion and a second, and the motion passed by voice vote.

The change-order discussion occurred after members reviewed contract documents and identified items that required additional excavation and under‑building materials so the structure could be brought out of wet conditions. Speaker 4 told the board the construction change directive already authorized the contractor to proceed with some work and that the directive will be formalized when change orders are approved: "the construction change directive gives the contractor the authorization to move forward with the work," Speaker 4 said.

Board members agreed to table Change Order No. 3 for further review after a separate meeting tomorrow to go line by line on items that may be duplicated or need clarification. Speaker 3 also said that if numbers are resolved at that review, a special meeting will be scheduled to approve Change Order No. 3.

What happens next: change‑order No. 3 will be reviewed at the scheduled meeting; if unresolved, the authority will hold a special meeting to consider final approval and formalize the construction change directive into contract amendments.
