Morrow County approves change orders for Simulco wastewater treatment plant project
Summary
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners approved contract change orders for the Simulco wastewater treatment plant project and heard a staff update showing project credits and net savings; commissioners voted by roll call to advance the work.
Morrow County commissioners on Sept. 11 approved change orders to the Simulco wastewater treatment plant construction contract, moving the project forward after staff outlined credits and savings.
In a presentation preceding the vote, Doctor Brooker said the 15 quarters accounted for 17,417 credits and noted two additional credits: a general allowance of 25,000 and a site utilities allowance of 15 (units not specified). Brooker also said "$40,000" would be deducted in relation to an AI contract and that, overall, the adjustments produce net savings of about $57,000. (Speaker names and exact numeric units are taken from the meeting record.)
Commissioners discussed contractor coordination and administrative follow-ups for next payments; staff indicated a revised AI contract would be presented to the board next week for approval and payment processing. The board then approved the change orders by roll call during the meeting.
The change orders are intended to keep construction on schedule; specific line-item amounts for each change order were not specified on the record. The board did not identify a separate timeline in the meeting minutes for final completion or additional required approvals.
The county will return to the item when staff brings the AI contract and subsequent payment request for formal approval.
