Votes at a glance: Cookeville council approves sidewalk, road and equipment change orders; consent agenda passed
Summary
At its July 2 meeting, the Cookeville City Council approved a final adjusting change order for the Spring Street sidewalk (net deduct $30,789.43), a final change order for the Henley Drive extension (final contract $547,500.20), and the purchase of a Vermeer grinder with Putnam County cost-sharing; the consent agenda (truck purchases and surplus declaration) also passed.
The Cookeville City Council on July 2 approved several procurement and contract closeout items during its meeting.
Spring Street sidewalk: Council approved a final adjusting change order for the SR-24 Spring Street Sidewalk Phase 2 project, a T-DOT funded local program. The contract net deduct was $30,789.43, reducing the original contract value from $913,582.65 to a final contract amount of $882,793.22; the project is a 95/5 grant match (city 5%).
Henley Drive: Council approved change order number one (final balance) for the Henley Drive Road Extension. The contractor completed the project ahead of schedule (original contract 150 days; completed in 98 days) and added scope (riprap a ditch and strap Henley Drive beyond original limits) with an additional cost of $13,521.20, yielding a final contract price of $547,500.20.
Equipment purchase: Council approved the previously discussed purchase of a Vermeer horizontal grinder. The previous advertised purchase price was approximately $740,000; the transcript records an insurance recovery of $251,637 for the lost grinder and notes Putnam County will contribute 50% of the cost share. (The transcript includes a final purchase number that appears garbled; the final verified purchase price was not clearly stated in the record.)
Consent agenda: The council approved consent items including purchases of one side-load sanitation truck, one front-load sanitation truck and one dumpster truck under Sourcewell contract(s), and the declaration of certain equipment as surplus.
Votes: The consent items and the sidewalk, grinder and Henley Drive change orders were approved by recorded votes during the meeting; most procurement votes were unanimous (five yes).
