Council approves 45‑day extension for wastewater VFD; no price change
Summary
The Alcester City Council approved Change Order No. 13 to extend the contract timeline for a wastewater treatment plant variable frequency drive by 45 days; staff said the extension carries 'no change in the price.'
The Alcester City Council voted to approve Change Order No. 13, extending the contract timeline for a variable frequency drive (VFD) at the wastewater treatment plant by 45 days.
Staff member (S2) told the council the extension would not change the contract price: "there's no change in the price. There's not a decrease, but there's not an increase either." Committee member (S3) moved to approve the change order and the motion carried without recorded opposition.
The council packet included an email from staff explaining that equipment delivery and installation are taking longer than anticipated, prompting the timeline extension. The motion was presented as a time extension only; staff did not request additional funds. Council members did not identify a specific new completion date on the record and directed staff to continue coordination with contractors.
