Commission tables and later reopens roundabout change order; authorizes manager to sign in‑budget change orders
Summary
The commission tabled Crossroads Engineering’s Bob Glidden roundabout change order pending line‑item clarification, later reopened the item for discussion, and approved a motion authorizing the town manager to sign future change orders that remain within the approved budget and contingency.
Commissioners discussed a change order related to the Bob Glidden roundabout project after staff reported the median removal requested by Cooper Tire and noted the change fits within the existing bond contingencies. Staff presented a change order amount shown as $17,775.25 and explained some line items are new while others reflect increases/decreases against prior estimates.
Commissioners asked for additional detail and moved to table the change order until line‑item questions were resolved; that motion passed on a 5–0 roll‑call vote. After other business and the abatement presentation, the commission voted to reopen the Crossroads Engineering change order discussion. Commissioners then approved a separate motion authorizing the town manager (Carmen) to execute future change orders on behalf of the RDC so long as the work remains within the previously approved project budget and bond contingency; that motion also passed 5–0.
Staff emphasized that the change order is within the project contingency, that further change orders may follow as buried infrastructure is uncovered, and that the project engineer has vetted the change order. Commissioners asked that staff provide clearer breakout of new items, increases and decreases before final approval of the change order amount.
Next steps: staff will provide the requested line‑item clarification and return the specific change order for approval or final action as appropriate.
