Fayette County approves $1.17 million GMP amendment for Rattlesnake Water System Phase 6
Summary
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a Guaranteed Maximum Price amendment for Phase 6 of the Rattlesnake Water System Improvements Project with Bowen Engineering Corporation, a not-to-exceed $1,170,586.08 contract amendment to furnish a generator and pumps.
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 13, 2025 unanimously approved a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) amendment for Phase 6 of the Rattlesnake Water System Improvements Project (Contract A) with Bowen Engineering Corporation. The board recorded the GMP for Phase 6 — described as "furnish only of generator and pumps" — as not to exceed $1,170,586.08.
The resolution, moved by Commissioner Donald L. Fleak and seconded by Commissioner James D. Garland, said the complete amendment is on file with the county. The board also noted prior contract activity with Bowen Engineering in the meeting bills, where a Bowen invoice for $2,485,219.59 appears in the register presented for payment.
County documents filed with the resolution reference the CMAR (construction-manager-at-risk) agreement and a review of proposals for underground and utility relocations; the board determined Bowen’s proposal represented best value under the terms of the CMAR agreement. The motion carried on a unanimous roll call.
The amendment covers procurement of major mechanical equipment for the Caesar’s Creek (Rattlesnake) facility; the resolution did not specify the exact installation schedule or the project’s remaining contingency. The complete GMP amendment is available in the county files for further technical and scheduling details.
