Summary

City staff presented a correction to change order #3 for the 188th Street and Smoky Point Boulevard roundabout, citing a reduced linear-foot credit and a sales-tax omission; staff gave a corrected adjustment figure and revised the overall change order total, though transcript numbers are inconsistent and require verification.

City staff brought a correction to an already-approved change order for the 188th Street and Smoky Point Boulevard roundabout project.

Jim Kelly told the council that the change order originally reflected a reduction of 270 linear feet of 18-inch sanitary sewer but that the correct reduction was 212 feet. Kelly said that change affected the credit shown in the change order and that staff had also failed to include sales tax on the utilities project. He reported a requested correction amount of $34,793 and said the adjustment brings the overall change order to another reported total in the packet.

The transcript includes numeric passages that appear to be garbled (for example a mid-sentence figure transcribed as "$34,074,836"); staff should confirm the packet and posted change-order documents for the final, authoritative numbers before publication. The council was informed of the correction during the workshop; no formal vote on the correction appears in the workshop transcript.

Staff said the correction relates to contract credits and tax treatment for the utilities portion of the project and asked the council to note the change.
