Pasco council preview: Sylvester Street and traffic-light upgrades require reconciliation change orders
Summary
Council will consider reconciliation change orders to finalize costs and close the Sylvester Street safety project (mostly state and federal grant-funded) and a traffic-light upgrade project led by Apollo Incorporated on multiple intersections.
A Moderator said the March 23 workshop will include items closing out two infrastructure projects: a reconciliation change order for the Sylvester Street safety improvements and a similar contract adjustment for a multi-intersection traffic-light upgrade.
"That's a contract adjustment at the end of a project to align the final cost with the work completed and the materials used," the Moderator said of the reconciliation change order for Sylvester Street. The Moderator also said the Sylvester Street improvements were almost entirely paid for with state and federal grants and that "after this step, the project can officially be wrapped up."
On traffic lights, the Moderator said Apollo Incorporated "has worked on upgrading more than a dozen intersections over the past several years," and that the reconciliation change order must be approved by the council before the project can be marked complete.
Why it matters: reconciliation change orders finalize contractor payments and allow the city to close out capital projects. The preview did not disclose final cost figures, contract amendments, or whether specific council action would be taken at the workshop beyond consideration of the change orders.
Next steps: the items are on the March 23 workshop agenda; the preview did not record a vote or final approval.
