Summary
At a March 17 special meeting, the Scofield Town Council authorized an addendum to engineering services for the town’s well vault and spring monitoring station, approving the chair to sign the adjusted contract; voice vote recorded, tally not specified.
Scofield — The Scofield Town Council voted March 17 to authorize an addendum to the engineering services contract covering the town's well vault and spring monitoring station and to allow the chair to sign the revised agreement, the chair said.
The addendum reflects corrected line items for design and related services that the chair said were mixed up in the vendor's initial breakdown. "I just need permission to sign this addendum," the chair said during the special meeting. Council members then recorded a motion, a second and approved the authorization by voice vote; the transcript does not show a roll-call tally.
Why it matters: the chair described the corrected figures as leaving about $39,000 in contingency under the town's USDA funding for the project, while saying additional work for the spring meter would need to be covered by CIB funding. The transcript presents inconsistent numeric line items (the chair read several different figures for design and related services); the council recorded the authorization after clarifying the vendor's name change and scope of work.
Details: the transcript includes multiple, inconsistent amounts for the addendum's line items (figures stated in the meeting include, at different points, approximately $18,003.75 and $19,009.87 for parts of the work, summing near $38,003). The chair stated the contingency remaining in USDA funds would be "close to $40,000" after the addendum; the chair also said the spring-meter work is not covered by that contingency and will require separate CIB funding.
Vendor identity: council members confirmed the engineering firm had changed names in their records (the transcript refers to CRS and Oryx as previous/current names). Council said the firm is the same team that originally worked on the project.
Next steps: the chair will sign the addendum as authorized. The meeting record does not provide a formal vote tally or identify the mover and seconder by name in the recorded segments.
