Summary

The board approved Change Order No. 1 for the 2026 liquid fuels road program, which reduced the overall contract amount, and approved payment certificate No. 1 to Harris Black Topping for $125,274.15 based on completed work.

The board approved two engineer-recommended actions on the township’s 2026 liquid fuels road program: Change Order No. 1, which adjusts installed quantities versus original contract quantities and reduces the overall contract amount, and Payment Certificate No. 1 to Harris Black Topping for $125,274.15.

The engineer summarized the change order as an adjustment "to the quantities actually installed by the contractor versus what was in the contract," adding that the change order "results in a reduction in the overall contract amount, which is good." The board moved, seconded and approved the change order.

On a second item, the engineer recommended Payment Certificate No. 1 to Harris Black Topping for $125,274.15 "based on the work that the contractors completed to date." The motion was seconded and approved by the supervisors.

Why it matters: the change order and payment reflect progress and accounting for the township’s 2026 road program; the reduction in contract amount is a budgetary positive and the payment certifies contractor work completed to date.

What comes next: routine contract administration and future payment certificates or change orders as final quantities are confirmed.
