Council approves change order for Independence Premium Foods stormwater project; company to reimburse city
Summary
Council approved change order #2 for the Independence Premium Foods stormwater project; minutes record an increase transcribed as "$4,97.35" (amount unclear). Staff said the city will process payment and the company will reimburse the city according to their agreement.
Council approved change order number two for the Independence Premium Foods stormwater project. Minutes record the increase as “$4,97.35,” a transcription in the record that staff and council discussed as part of the action; staff clarified the city is the contracting party and will pay the change order amount and be reimbursed by Independence Premium Foods for their agreed $300,000 contribution.
Council asked clarifying questions about the composition of the $300,000 (whether it covers construction only or includes engineering/legal costs). Staff said they would review the contract terms to be certain of what the $300,000 covers. The motion to approve the change order passed on roll call.
Why it matters: The change order updates the city’s contract total for a stormwater project tied to a private development; the city will front the payment but expects reimbursement under the existing agreement with Independence Premium Foods.
Next steps: Staff will confirm the change order dollar amount and contract accounting details and note reimbursement timing in future financial reports.
