Board approves change order for Grand View water-main repair after soil issues
Summary
The board approved Change Order No. 1 for the Grand View Boulevard water-main repair, adding additional full-width pavement replacement and remediation of soft soils and a leaking curb stop; the discussion cited an increase noted in the transcript of $25,229.7 and staff said one additional estimate is expected in July.
Board members voted unanimously June 2 to approve Change Order No. 1 for the Grand View Boulevard water-main repair.
Kevin explained the original design limited pavement removal to roughly two-thirds of the roadway, but post-construction assessment of pavement age and condition led staff to expand pavement replacement to the full roadway width. During construction the crew encountered soft soils in one area and an additional leaking curb stop that required excavation, removal of unsuitable material and import of fill and gravel. Kevin said those items account for the change-order increases.
The transcript records an increase stated as $25,229.7 for the change order. Alder Steven not moved to approve the change order, which was seconded by Alder Larry Jurassic and carried unanimously. Kevin said one more estimate is expected in July to finalize remaining spot work and contingency.
