Council approves pay application and schedule adjustment for 2025 street-utility work
Summary
City engineer presented pay application No.7 for the 2025 Street Utility Project and recommended allowing settlement before final paving on 8th Street and Langford Avenue; council approved the partial pay estimate and a change order that delays the final lift until October without additional cost.
The council approved pay application No.7 and a no-cost change order on July 14 for the 2025 Street Utility Project after the city engineer recommended delaying the final pavement lift in areas showing settlement. The engineer explained that opening trenches and patching newly placed pavement can create future cracking, so the preferred approach is to allow additional settlement through the end of the year and then place the final lift, calling the contractor back later only if necessary.
The change order moves the completion date for the final paving and associated items to late October and does not increase contract costs. Council members asked about the timing and inspection process; the engineer said punch-list repairs remain and that the contractor walked the site that afternoon.
