Board approves contractor payment for sidewalk overrun after discussion about thicker concrete
Summary
Trustees approved paying the contractor the remainder for a sidewalk project after hearing that the job used thicker concrete and included additional excavation; transcript notes an overrun of roughly $11,500 above the original quote but does not provide a precise final figure.
The board approved payment to a contractor (referred to as Scott in the transcript) to cover an overrun on a sidewalk job.
Chair (speaker 1) introduced the item, and staff and trustees discussed why the cost exceeded the original quote. Speakers said the contractor used a thicker, higher-quality concrete and excavated more material, which were cited as causes of the higher cost. One speaker estimated the overrun "came in, what, 11,500 to over the quote" and another phrase in the transcript rendered an exact figure as "$11.06 16," which is unclear in the record. Committee member (speaker 5) moved to pay Scott the remainder; the motion was seconded and approved by recorded 'Aye' votes in the transcript.
The board did not supply a precise final invoice amount in the transcript; the reasons given for the overrun were recorded as contractor changes to concrete thickness and additional excavation. The board moved on after approving the payment.
