Council OKs Change Order #12 at wastewater plant after unexpected debris and extra work
Summary
Contractor requested additional payment after crews found packed grit and debris that required manual cleanup; council approved change order #12, adding roughly $21,842 for removal work plus smaller installation costs for the diffuser system and lab outlets.
Council reviewed Change Order #12 for the wastewater treatment facility project after contractors found an unexpectedly deep accumulation of grit and debris when draining an aeration basin. The presenter said crews had to remove four to five feet of compacted material that included large items and towels; the contractor submitted an extra charge for time and materials of $21,842.
The presenter also reported additional labor of about $4,006.82 for drilling through an unforeseen interior wall during diffuser installation (materials provided by the supplier) and further small electrical and plumbing items (about $4,923.90). The presenter said the city did not pay for diffuser materials but did approve labor and the other requested items.
A council member moved to approve Change Order #12 and council voted to approve the motion.
