Summary

Council approved Resolution R-93 (MG Engineering supplemental #2, $13,472) to cover unforeseen environmental conditions at the Public Works building project and Resolution R-94 (change order #2, $2,004.50) to cover additional permit fees for S.J. Thomas Co., increasing contract totals as recorded.

Council approved two items tied to Public Works construction: Resolution R-93 authorizes supplemental number 2 to MG Engineering Associates LLC for $13,472 to cover unforeseen environmental issues (underground storage tanks, seepage pits, contaminated materials), increasing that contract to $57,722; Resolution R-94 authorizes change order number 2 for S. J. Thomas Company Inc. in the amount of $2,004.50 for additional permit fees, bringing the contract total to $215,297.34. Motions for both resolutions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

City staff noted these are common contingencies on construction projects. A council member remarked the Public Works building is under construction on Lloyd Street and that unanticipated findings during excavation necessitated the additional funding. The motion records reflect unanimous approval among councilors present.
