Summary

The commission approved a change order to replace Hydrant 483 and to add a valve and stub‑out for a future 12‑inch connection that will enable a later New Haven Drive tie‑in without re‑digging the road.

Staff presented a change order for the replacement of Hydrant 483 (near 39th Street and 1st Avenue) and recommended installing an additional valve and a stub‑out for a future 12‑inch connection so the road will need to be excavated only once. Paul said doing the work now "makes sense to do this now" because the project already requires digging in the location.

Commissioners examined the change‑order line items and questioned cost notations (for example, fittings priced by the pound). Staff described the count and types of fittings and valves included in the estimate. After clarification, commissioners approved the change order by voice vote.
