Jonesville council approves change order to add 22 residential water services
Summary
The council approved Change Order No. 1 to add 22 new water services to the West and Adrian Street improvement project after the services were omitted from the bid. Wolverine Engineers offered a 10% contract reduction, bringing the unit price from $6,000 to under $5,500 each.
Jonesville City Council approved Change Order No. 1 to the West and Adrian Street Improvement Project to install 22 new water services for properties on West, Adrian, Franklin and Liberty streets.
The motion, introduced by Councilmember George Humphries Jr. and supported by Delesha Padula, responded to an omission in the project’s bid package that excluded the cost of replacing galvanized water services between the street and homeowners. Don Heck of Wolverine Engineers and Surveyors was present; the firm proposed reducing its service contract with the City by 10% to offset the omission. That consideration reduces the unit price from $6,000 to below $5,500 per service, the council record says. The motion passed unanimously among those present (Absent: Brenda Guyse).
The change order completes the required twenty-two services for homes identified in the project scope. City materials provided to the council say the work was within the market rate after the contractor’s concession. Council did not record additional amendments to the project timeline at the meeting.
The council will include the change order and its adjusted costs in the project accounting; Pay Request No. 1 for the overall project was approved later in the meeting.
