Council approves $137,239 in change orders, raising public works building contract to $2.507 million
Summary
Mountainside council authorized Change Order No. 1 ($10,449) and No. 2 ($126,790) to a Fooscon Enterprises contract for a public works building, increasing the contract to $2,507,239; council adopted the contract amendments by roll call.
The Borough Council approved two change orders for the public works building contract with Fooscon Enterprises, increasing the contract to $2,507,239. The contract was originally awarded on Nov. 8, 2023, for $2,370,000; the approved change orders add $10,449 and $126,790 respectively.
Steve (speaker 6) summarized the change orders and read the revised contract total into the record. "As a result of the change orders, the contract will be amended to $2,507,239," Steve said. The council moved, seconded and approved the change orders on roll call.
The record does not include line-item details explaining the causes for the change orders beyond the DPW director's submission of the requested changes. The council authorized the mayor and clerk to execute the amendments consistent with municipal contracting procedures.
The change orders increase the borough's planned capital expenditure for the public works facility; the meeting minutes do not show further discussion of project schedule impacts or contingency funding.
