Commissioners approve $58,082.95 change order for Larison Road lift station project
Summary
The board approved change order number 6 for the Larison Road lift-station and force-main replacement project, increasing the contract by $58,082.95 to cover final punch-list items such as additional water cover and maintaining pipe separation.
The St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners approved change order number 6 for the Larison Road lift station and force main replacement project at its July 14 meeting.
Frank Meaders (Infrastructure, Planning and Growth staff) told the board the change order covers items identified during the final inspection punch list, including additional water cover and steps to maintain pipe separation. “This change order is an increase of $58,082.95, and we recommend your approval,” Meaders said. Commissioners voted to approve the change order by motion and voice vote.
Why this matters: The change order funds final corrections required at the lift station before project closeout; the amount was presented as a contract increase to cover identified punch‑list items.
The meeting record shows the motion carried with unanimous ayes; staff indicated Amazon (contractor liaison comment) or other contractors would address items identified in the punch list and that this change order represents final closeout work.
