Florence approves water‑main work and construction payments for Eagle Post Road sewer and overlay projects
Summary
The board approved a $22,750 water main contract, a $60,116.03 pay request for an Eagle Post Road overlay, a $131,230.53 pay request for sanitary‑sewer work and a $60,298.67 contract change order for the Eagle Post Road sewer project.
The Florence board approved multiple infrastructure payments and a contract change order during its Oct. 7, 2025 meeting.
Street Director/Public Works David Myers recommended awarding a water main improvements contract for work at White Street, Main Street and Seventh Day Road; the board approved Delta Constructors, Inc.'s low quote of $22,750.00 by unanimous motion.
City Engineer Tim Parker presented construction payment requests tied to Eagle Post Road projects. The board approved Pay Request #2 from A.J. Construction for $60,116.03 for the Eagle Post Road overlay (LPA project). Parker also recommended and the board approved Pay Request #1 to Thornton Construction Company, Inc. for $131,230.53 for MCWI #255‑2‑CW (Hwy. 49 Eagle Post Road sanitary sewer additions Phase 3, College Street pump station force main replacement). The board further approved Thornton Construction Company, Inc. Contract Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $60,298.67 for MCWI#1255‑CW‑5.5 (Hwy. 49 Eagle Post Road sanitary sewer additions—Phase 3).
All motions on construction and pay requests were made and seconded by aldermen and recorded as unanimous votes. The minutes do not detail the specific scope items altered by the change order or the cause of the additional cost; that information was not provided in the transcript.
Why it matters: These approvals move planned road, overlay and sewer work forward and release payment to contractors, affecting project timelines and the municipal capital ledger. The transcript records amounts and project identifiers but omits line‑item explanations for the change order.
Next steps: Contractors will proceed per their contracts; staff or the city engineer would hold further documentation on the scope and justification for the change order.
