Board approves $1.585M change order for Downtown Interceptor; Main Street lane restrictions to remain through July
Summary
The Board approved Change Order #2 for the Downtown Interceptor project — a $1,585,440.83 cost increase and 30-day extension — and heard updates on lane restrictions and planned openings for Main St., US 231 and other streets.
The Board of Public Works & Safety approved Change Order #2 for the Downtown Interceptor (DTI) project on July 1, adding $1,585,440.83 in pay items and extending the contract by 30 days. City engineer representative Al Stong said the change order addresses a conflict found during boring on Main Street and noted the project retained a $6.1 million construction contingency to address unforeseen subsurface conditions.
Al Stong also provided an updated schedule and traffic plan: Main Street/SR 55 lane restrictions are expected to remain through the end of July but businesses will retain access; Birch Street will have reduced lanes and temporary closures at the Birch/Cedar intersection; US 231 (Phase 6) remains closed to through-traffic with paving expected to start July 6 and an anticipated reopening of US 231 by mid-July; Chase Street is open with a stone base and will receive curbing and asphalt soon. The Board approved the change order on a unanimous voice vote.
