Brainerd committee approves final payment of $49,940 for 2025 patching project, declines contractor—s $4,000 extra request
Summary
The Brainerd City Safety and Public Works Committee voted to approve final payment for the 2025 large patching project at the original contract amount of $49,940, following staff recommendation to deny a contractor request for an additional $4,000 for extra mix.
The Brainerd City Safety and Public Works Committee voted to approve final payment for the city's 2025 large patching project at the original contract amount of $49,940 and declined a contractor request for an additional $4,000.
Staff presented the original proposal and invoice information and recommended approving the original amount rather than granting the additional materials payment sought by Anderson Brothers. "Staff's recommendation is to just approve final payment in the original amount of 49,940," Jesse said during the meeting.
A council member thanked staff for the recommendation and noted that had the contractor contacted the council or staff earlier, the extra funds might have been considered; the council otherwise supported following staff direction. The motion to approve the original final payment amount was moved and seconded; the committee approved it by voice vote.
The decision clears the project closeout at the recommended contract amount. No individual council member was recorded as the motion's mover or seconder in the transcript; the vote was recorded by voice as "I" and the chair declared the motion carried.
The committee then moved on to the next agenda item.
