Council approves three change orders for Central Range Public Works facility
Summary
The council approved three change orders for the Central Range Public Works facility: a remodel (amount read on record with transcript formatting unclear), rooftop HVAC replacement for $315,733.87, and south-side waterproofing for $124,925.76.
Hibbing’s City Council approved three change orders for the Central Range Public Works facility during the March 18 meeting, moving forward with a remodel, HVAC replacement and waterproofing work.
At the start of the bids and quotes section, the presiding officer introduced city engineer Jesse Story as the responsible staff for the items. The first change order covered remodeling existing office space and a conference room at the Public Works garage; the change-order amount was read aloud on the record but the transcript’s formatting for that figure is unclear. The clerk’s readout recorded the line as "$515.05 $77.72," which the council treated as the stated amount during the motion and vote.
Story (as introduced) described the second item as replacement of rooftop mechanical/HVAC units that are over 32 years old; the amount read for that change order was $315,733.87. Councilors were told that HVAC replacement should be completed in conjunction with the remodel. The third item was a waterproofing change order for the south side of the Public Works building to address water intrusion during heavy rains; the amount read was $124,925.76.
Councillor Whitney moved and Councillor Bayless supported approval of the change orders; the council approved each item by voice vote.
The council did not provide detailed funding-source breakdowns for the change orders during the meeting; such details should appear in the formal contract and capital project documents.
