Council approves causeway contract modification after staff and engineer recommend scope change
Summary
City staff told the council a slight scope change to the causeway project prompted Contract Modification No. 1; after a brief presentation and engineer concurrence, the council approved the modification by voice vote.
City staff presented Contract Modification No. 1 for the Newport causeway project and the council approved the change by voice vote.
Mister Gurnia described a small change in the project's scope and said he and the engineer agreed the modification was appropriate. "They changed a little bit of the scope of the project," Gurnia said, explaining staff had marked areas on the causeway and that the contractor will scan concrete pedestals. Staff and the city's lawyer had reviewed the change and recommended proceeding.
Council moved and seconded the modification and the chair called for a voice vote. Multiple members responded 'aye' and the chair declared the motion carried. The council did not record a roll-call tally in the public record during the vote.
The item will be documented in city records and the treasurer was instructed to include the approval in the minutes and provide copies to relevant parties.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the change as authorized and provide contract paperwork to the treasurer for distribution.
