Change Order #4 adds $70,664.30 to East 2nd/Edgewood and East 3rd Street reconstruction contract
Summary
Council approved Change Order #4 to the Kansas Heavy Construction contract for East 2nd/Edgewood and East 3rd Street reconstruction totaling $70,664.30, to reconcile bid quantities to approved plans after field discrepancies were found.
Public Works Director Dan Merkh presented Change Order #4 to the contract with Kansas Heavy Construction, detailing discrepancies between bid item quantities and quantities in the approved construction plans that crews found in the field. The change order revises bid quantities to conform to the plans; the change represents a 3.51% overall adjustment to the contract.
Merkh explained some discrepancies arose because items in the 120‑page plans were not differentiated (for example, Type 1 curb vs. Type 2 curb) and adjustments were required once crews began work. Mayor and council members thanked staff for addressing the issues; Councilmember Josh Lewis moved to approve the change order, Councilmember Clay Longanecker seconded, and the motion carried 3–0.
