Pipe elevation error at Locke Avenue Park prompts review of change order costs
Summary
Committee members flagged a pipe elevation error discovered during Locke Avenue Park Phase I work and discussed potential change order costs, directing staff to review proposals and return recommendations to the Committee.
During routine engineering reports at the Sept. 15 Woolwich Township Committee meeting, the township engineer and committee members held an extensive discussion about a pipe elevation error identified at Locke Avenue Park. The error was raised as part of the township engineer’s monthly report and prompted questions about potential change order costs associated with correcting the issue.
The Committee did not authorize a change order at the meeting. Instead, members asked the Administrator to meet with the Fire Chief (and relevant staff) to review proposals and the technical implications of the elevation discrepancy before returning recommendations to the Committee. Payment No. 3 to Wyndham Construction LLC for Locke Avenue Park Development — Phase I was on the consent agenda and was approved separately; the minutes record that work and the payment authorization alongside the discussion of the pipe elevation issue.
The minutes do not list dollar estimates for any corrective work or a specific schedule for when the Committee will consider a change order. The Administrator will present findings and recommendations to the Committee at a future meeting.
