Council approves $3.37M change order for energy department expansion
Summary
The council approved change order No. 4 for the energy department expansion, awarding plumbing, HVAC, electrical and fire-protection work with a total presented of about $3.37 million and a reported contingency/allowances; staff said the amount is under budget by $877,895.82.
The Cookeville City Council unanimously approved a change order April 2 for the energy department facility expansion on West Davis Road that covers subcontract awards for plumbing, HVAC, electrical and fire protection.
Mr. Haney summarized the recommended subcontractors and line items for change order No. 4 and provided a total change-order figure the meeting transcript records as approximately $3.37 million, including a 5% contingency and contract allowances for permits and general conditions. He also reported that the change order amount is $877,895.82 under the project budget as presented to the council.
Council discussion included a brief acknowledgement of the under-budget status and a comment noting that three of the four recommended subcontractors are local firms where feasible; Vice Mayor Eldridge moved approval and Councilman Walker seconded the motion.
The council approved the change order by unanimous vote. City staff said the change order will enable completion of work in the current construction phase where steel erection is underway and that project oversight will continue through the construction manager and contract administrator.
Next steps: With the change order approved, staff will finalize subcontract agreements and continue onsite construction; the city reported contingency and allowances within the presented budget estimates.
