Greenwood approves $715,000 change order for 2nd Avenue South, amends FY2025 budget
Summary
The Greenwood council approved Change Order 3 for 2nd Avenue South — roughly 1,400 linear feet of concrete replacement — with a cost stated as $715,000 and amended the FY2025 budget by $720,000 to cover the work. Funding will come from quarry tonnage fees and budget adjustments.
The Greenwood City Council approved a change order to extend the 2nd Avenue South improvement project and amended the city’s fiscal 2025 operating budget to cover the added cost.
Chair (speaker) introduced two infrastructure items the council described as “almost $1,800,000” in total, then moved approval of Resolution 2024-104, which staff said would extend the project south from the Buckling Powder parking lot. An agency official explained the work would include removal and replacement with 13-inch concrete along just over 1,400 linear feet. “The cost of the change orders, that’s $715,000,” the official said during the discussion.
Councilors approved the resolution and later passed ordinance 2024-107 to add $720,000 to the FY2025 operating budget to fund the additional work. Staff told the council they plan to use existing quarry tonnage fees and expected quarry revenue in 2025 to help pay for the project.
The change order is scheduled to proceed when temperatures allow construction in early 2025, according to staff. The council conducted approvals by voice vote; individual vote tallies were not recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
What happens next: staff said construction would advance in quarter 1 of 2025 once weather permits and that additional budget and cash-flow planning for subsequent basins will occur in upcoming workshops.
