Commissioners approve Rattlesnake water system change orders and deduct contingency on wastewater plant
Summary
Fayette County commissioners approved change orders for the Rattlesnake Water System Improvements that add $6,126.48 to Contract A and accepted a $34,450 deduction from owner contingency on the Rattlesnake Wastewater Treatment Plant contract, which remains at $18,289,538.
Fayette County commissioners on Jan. 27 approved two change orders for the Rattlesnake Water System Improvements and accepted an adjustment to contingency on the Rattlesnake Wastewater Treatment Plant contract.
Per a request from Crystal Corbin, Program Manager, the board approved Change Orders #1 and #2 to Onepointe Solutions LLC on Contract A for the Rattlesnake Water System Improvements to resize a chase pipe and install a fume hood needed to complete a permanent laboratory. The change orders increase Contract A by $6,126.48, bringing that contract total to $100,662.58. The motion was moved by Tony Anderson and seconded by James D. Garland; the roll call was Garland, aye; Anderson, aye; Fleak, absent.
Separately, the board accepted Contract Change Order #8 for Peterson Construction on the Rattlesnake Wastewater Treatment Plant. That change order deducts $34,450 from the embedded owner contingency in the project’s guaranteed maximum price. County minutes record that the action does not change the contract amount, which remains $18,289,538. The motion carried with Garland and Anderson voting aye; Fleak was recorded absent.
Earlier in the meeting the bills presented to the board included several Rattlesnake-related charges and laboratory/testing fees for the county’s water accounts, which the commissioners approved as part of the regular bills process.
The approvals carry forward ongoing construction and utility work tied to the Rattlesnake water and wastewater projects. The change that reduces the owner contingency does not alter the contractor’s contract price but lowers the contingency balance available for future adjustments.
