Ogdensburg council accepts storm-drain repair project, approves 11.99% change order
Summary
The Borough of Ogdensburg approved Resolution 52-2026 on April 27, 2026 to accept the Storm Drain Repair Project and authorize a Change Order increasing the contract with Riverview Paving Inc. from $99,991.70 to $111,977.98. Final payment is conditioned on a maintenance bond and an affidavit of no liens.
The Ogdensburg Borough Council on April 27 adopted Resolution 52-2026 authorizing a Change Order No. 1 for the Ogdensburg Storm Drain Repair Project that increases the contract price with Riverview Paving Inc. from $99,991.70 to $111,977.98 — an increase of $11,986.28, or 11.99 percent.
The resolution notes the increase reflects adjustments to as-built quantities, fuel and asphalt price adjustments, and cross-drain repairs, and states the Borough Engineer approved the modifications and recommended (1) authorizing the change order, (2) accepting the project, (3) releasing the performance guarantee and (4) making final payment to Riverview. Final payment is conditioned on Riverview providing a maintenance bond and submitting an “Affidavit of No Liens” confirming all indebtedness on the project has been satisfied.
The motion to approve the consent agenda (which included Resolution 52-2026) passed on roll call with five yeas (Ciasullo, DeMeo, Gandarinho, Gordon, Lame) and one absence (Cowdrick). The resolution directs the Borough Clerk to forward certified copies to the Borough Finance Department, the Borough Engineer, Riverview Paving Inc., and the New Jersey Department of Transportation Division of Local Aid and Economic Development.
Why it matters: the change order completes adjustments to the state-aid project’s accounting and allows the Borough to close out the contract if the contractor meets the bond and lien-affidavit conditions. The work had been funded and administered as a New Jersey State Aid Project under the Local Public Contracts Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:11-1 et seq.).
What’s next: the borough will withhold final payment until the maintenance bond and affidavit of no liens are provided, per the resolution.
