Summary

After coating failures on a recently replaced digestor cover, council approved a change order deducting $47,000 from the original contract and an amendment to pay $47,000 to the engineering consultant for oversight and repairs.

City staff told the council that the digestor cover at the wastewater treatment plant exhibited coating failures after installation, prompting removal, sandblasting, recoating and reinstallation. The council approved a change order to deduct $47,000 from the original contractor (to account for engineering costs) and separately approved $47,000 in additional funding to pay engineering services for oversight of the remedial work.

Staff said the work was separate from the larger plant project and necessary to ensure the repaired cover remains in service.

The council approved both measures on roll-call votes.
