Harrison Township approves final Waterfront Park change orders, pays contractor and invoices Harbour Pointe
Summary
The board approved final change-order payments for the Waterfront Park project, authorizing payment of $86,687.61 to contractor E. C. Korneffel and invoicing Harbour Pointe $5,271.67 for its share; change orders were driven by pipe replacement, grouting and additional site work.
At its Sept. 22 meeting the Harrison Township Board of Trustees approved payment for final change orders on the Waterfront Park project and directed staff to invoice Harbour Pointe for a negotiated share.
Supervisor Kenneth Verkest outlined the project history: the original contract bid was $1,304,975.00 and the board previously authorized a total of $1,370,000.00 for the project. Change Order 1 ($79,812.00) covered removal of a rotten 154-foot length of 36-inch corrugated metal pipe and replacement with 30-inch HDPE double-wall pipe and additional conduit support for the pier. A later change included replacing stone fill between kayak launch concrete pads with an MDOT S2 cement-style mix ($12,400.00), additional sidewalk and bike-rack concrete, drainage improvements to prevent storm-water pooling, additional restoration, and added riprap near the pier ($74,287.61). The contractor received a $10,000.00 negotiated reduction.
After discussion the board moved and approved payment of $86,687.61 to E. C. Korneffel to cover Change Orders 2 and 3, and directed staff to invoice Harbour Pointe $5,271.67 as its share of the excess costs. The minutes show the motion was made by Treasurer Lawrence Tomenello and seconded by Trustee Dean Olgiati and that the motion carried.
The Supervisor noted that some work proceeded late in the season because of weather and contractor remobilization this spring to finish the project; the additional work included drainage and restoration elements requested by township staff. The board record does not show further financial contingencies beyond the invoiced Harbour Pointe amount.
What happens next: the township will complete the invoicing to Harbour Pointe and issue the final payment to E. C. Korneffel, closing out the project financials once invoices and any remaining acceptances are processed.
