Council approves two change orders for 2024 street project totaling $47,083.49
Summary
Council approved Change Order 1 ($28,585.47) to address an underground tank and Change Order 2 ($18,498.02) to install a carrier pipe under Main Ave West; Change Order 2 will be paid from the sewer fund and drew one Nay vote.
The Soap Lake City Council approved two change orders for the 2024 Street Improvement Project on Aug. 21.
Change Order 1, needed after workers discovered an underground tank along Marinas Drive, was approved unanimously. The council recorded the total estimated cost as $28,585.47 and staff estimated project completion around mid‑October.
Change Order 2 was approved to place a carrier pipe under Main Ave West now to avoid disrupting paving later. The council approved the change order with Councilmember Carlson voting Nay; total estimated cost is $18,498.02 and the expense will be charged to the sewer fund.
Nut graf: Together the two change orders add an estimated $47,083.49 to project costs; one council member publicly opposed the second change order. The meeting record ties Change Order 2 directly to sewer‑fund financing.
Next steps: Staff will proceed with the change order work; the street project timeline was described as complete around mid‑October.
