Waterworks presents final change order for lead line replacements; board approves
Summary
Lafayette Waterworks presented Change Order No. 3 for Atlas Excavating on the phase one lead service line replacement project, described in the meeting as a contract decrease and the final change order; the board approved the change order and staff will issue final completion once final waivers are received.
Steve Moore of Lafayette Waterworks told the board that Change Order No. 3 for Atlas Excavating reduces the contract amount for the lead service line replacement phase one project and is the final change order for the work. Moore said Wesler Engineering will prepare a letter recommending final completion and release retainers once final waivers are received from subcontractors and material suppliers.
Moore described the change as a decrease to the contract amount and recommended approval. The transcript records the spoken number as "1,63,6467," which appears garbled; the exact dollar amount was not clearly transcribed during the meeting.
A board member moved to approve the change order, the motion was seconded, and the board approved it by voice vote. Moore said the contractor will be required to address outstanding right-of-entry issues in phase two as needed.
Why it matters: The final change order closes out phase one work and clears the way for final completion actions and release of retainers, while outstanding entries and upcoming phase-two work remain part of the contractor’s obligations.
What comes next: Wesler Engineering will prepare a final completion recommendation after final waivers are submitted; the city will proceed with remaining right-of-entry issues in phase two as needed.
