Commissioners approve change orders for county culvert renewal program
Summary
The board approved two change orders for the county’s culvert renewal and replacement program to address aged and storm‑damaged stormwater infrastructure, citing a rise in emergency projects after recent hurricanes.
Hillsborough County commissioners on Nov. 5 approved two change orders for ongoing, as‑needed stormwater culvert and construction services covering eastern and western parts of the county. The action is part of the county’s culvert renewal and replacement program to repair and proactively replace aged and failing stormwater infrastructure.
Katie, with Hillsborough County Communications and Digital Media, said storms during recent hurricane seasons have significantly increased the number of emergency projects, prompting the county to accelerate repairs to protect people and property. The change orders authorize adjustments to existing contracts to allow the county to respond to increased emergency workloads and continue proactive replacements.
