Board signs $92,720.43 net deductive change order as pump-station consolidation wraps
Summary
The Board of Public Works approved a net deductive change order of $92,720.43 on the Sell Side pump station consolidation contract with Advanced Construction after staff detailed unused quantities and several necessary additions, including repairs and valve installations.
The Board of Public Works approved July 9 a contract change order that deducts $92,720.43 from the Advanced Construction contract for the Sell Side pump-station consolidation project.
Staff and an engineer described several components of the change order: large unused quantities (mostly temporary asphalt and deferred resurfacing), time-and-material repairs for an earlier force-main leak, additional equipment and rental charges after encountering bedrock during crossing work, unplanned painting and scaffolding in a deep pump station basement, installation of an extra gate valve on the force main, retaining-wall revisions and storm-inlet replacement. Taken together, those add and subtract line items that result in the stated net deductive amount.
An engineer said the overall contract remains about $90,000 under the original contract value and staff reported the total contract value is approximately $13.6 million. A board member moved to approve the proposed change order and the board voted to adopt it.
Board members framed the change order as completing wrap-up work and using savings from unused quantities to cover necessary additional items, rather than as new scope. The board approved the change order by voice vote.
