Summary

Engineering presented a change order for contractor ECSC to install sewer pipe along LaGrange Road for $1,154,687.71 using county ARPA funds; council approved issuing a notice to proceed, noting the work excludes individual service connections.

The City of Freeport City Council approved a change order for contractor ECSC to proceed with the LaGrange Road sewer extension, authorizing a notice to proceed for work funded with county ARPA funds.

City engineering staff (Speaker 8) described the change order as covering installation of sewer main pipe along LaGrange Road with a contract increase of $1,154,687.71 and an expected completion date of Oct. 1. Staff clarified the scope covers pipe-in-the-ground only and does not include individual sewer service connections because funding is insufficient to cover those laterals.

A council member moved to approve the change order and issue a notice to proceed; the council voted in favor and the motion carried.

Engineering staff said the change order implements a project the county previously approved for the city to design and construct and that the remaining work to serve individual properties will be addressed separately as funding allows.
