Daggett MBA approves two change orders for Dutch John water treatment plant
Summary
The Daggett County Municipal Building Authority on Dec. 16 approved two change orders for the Dutch John water treatment plant — $16,720 to paint the existing building and $20,946.93 for lightning protection — drawing on roughly $120,000 in contingency and excavation savings.
The Daggett County Municipal Building Authority on Tuesday approved two change orders for the Dutch John water treatment plant project as the project nears operational status.
Unidentified Speaker 2, the project representative, told the authority the trunk treatment plant is progressing and is expected to be operational in January. He said the authority currently has roughly $61,000 in contingency plus about $64,000 in estimated savings from solid-rock excavation, putting the available contingency in the vicinity of $120,000.
"So change order 1 is to paint the existing, the old building," Unidentified Speaker 2 said, adding the cost for that work is $16,720. He also described the second item being considered as lightning protection for the new treatment plant, explaining it would protect instrumentation and route strikes to ground. He gave the cost of that work as $20,946.93.
Board discussion touched on whether bids were received and the timing for painting. Unidentified Speaker 3 asked about competitive bids; Unidentified Speaker 2 said these revisions are issued through the general contractor and that obtaining roof bids has been challenging. He noted painting would likely occur in spring, depending on weather.
Unidentified Speaker 3 moved to approve change orders 1 and 3 "as stated," and the motion was seconded by Unidentified Speaker 1. The board voted in favor.
Unidentified Speaker 2 said three additional change orders remain under review — pipe-work modifications (including backflow preferences), electrical adjustments and a roofing cost for the existing building — and that those items will be returned to the authority for consideration once final estimates are obtained. He also credited Trevor for proactive project oversight, which he said helped reduce some costs.
The authority did not take formal action today on the pending pipe, electrical and roofing items; staff said they will return with specific numbers and recommendations.
