Trustees amend Aristocrat Drive contract, authorize up to $60,550 to finish drainage work
Loading...
Summary
Trustees approved an amendment to the Aristocrat Drive excavation contract, increasing the not‑to‑exceed amount to $60,550 to complete drainage and related work after additional site conditions were identified.
Trustees on March 9 voted to amend the contract for the Aristocrat Drive project to authorize up to $60,550 for additional excavation and drainage work.
Maintenance supervisor Jim described the issue as an unanticipated need to reach an alternate drain location, which would increase the project cost by roughly $3,000 above the original estimate and could raise the total to about $60,000–$60,550 depending on the work required. The board moved and seconded an amendment to add that contingency to the contract with the excavating company; the vote was taken by roll call and the amendment passed.
The amended authorization directs staff to proceed with the additional work so construction can start Monday if site conditions permit. Trustees said they expect staff to monitor the project and report back if costs change further.
The contract amendment was described in open meeting minutes and approved by roll call; the board did not provide additional project bid backup during the discussion.
