Board tables Corio change order for 2700 West Lift Station, orders weekly inspections
Summary
The West Haven board voted to table Change Order No. 4 from Corio, delaying a proposed extension of the 2700 West Lift Station completion date while requiring weekly site inspections, continued engineering coordination and a future appearance by Corio.
The West Haven board voted to table Change Order No. 4 from Corio regarding an extension to the completion date for the 2700 West Lift Station.
Chair (S1) said the board instructed Corio to continue weekly site inspections and to email Gardner Engineering with updates, and that representatives Bridal and Russ should attend the weekly meetings. The chair also noted that liquidated damages remain an outstanding issue because the contractor did not achieve substantial completion by June 5 or final completion by June 19.
The tabling motion was made by Committee member (S4) and seconded by Committee member (S5). After discussion, the board voted and members recorded unanimous "aye" votes to table the change order. Chair (S1) said Corio will be invited to appear at the board's next meeting on Aug. 17.
Why it matters: The change order would have altered the contractor's completion timeline and potentially the district's exposure to liquidated-damage claims. By tabling the item the board left the change order unresolved while requiring more frequent oversight from the contractor and continued coordination with the district's engineering consultant.
What happens next: Corio is to inspect the site weekly and provide written updates to Gardner Engineering and the board. The board scheduled Corio to appear at the next meeting to report progress. No further decisions were made on the change order at this meeting.
