Council OKs $121,550 change order for West Interceptor creek crossing work
Summary
The council approved change order #4 for the West Interceptor Segment 2 project to use flowable fill at a creek crossing because of seepage, adding $121,550 to the contract while staff said the project remains under the original estimate and on schedule.
Staff described a significant design modification at a low-water creek crossing on the West Interceptor Segment 2 project. A structural engineer recommended replacing a select fill with a flowable fill to form a more monolithic trench structure in an area experiencing seepage; staff requested council approval for change order #4 for $121,550 to make that modification.
Project staff said the original project estimate was about $4,066,000 and that after prior change orders the project remains below that estimate; a completion date (substantial completion) was noted as May 29, 2027 in the project schedule. Council approved the change order on a voice vote and staff emphasized the change was intended to protect the structure and avoid future repairs.
