Building committee approves $304,644.86 in contractor payments, including elevator and patio work
Summary
The Middletown Building Committee approved a bundled application for payment totaling $304,644.86 covering drywall, plumbing, patio and elevator work, and several progress invoices as staff recommended; the elevator is scheduled for inspection Monday.
The Middletown Building Committee voted to approve an Application for Payment No. 8 from Cochran Service Corporation and multiple progress invoices, for a combined total of $304,644.86. Brian Gardner, construction manager for city staff, told the committee that "City staff has reviewed all these invoices and recommends approval."
The application grouped work across disciplines: drywall, plumbing and gas, patio railings, elevator shaft installation (inspected Monday), patio/stairs/retaining wall repair, elevator progress, construction management fees, and painting. Gardner said the application had been revised on 07/23/2024 and recommended the committee accept the progress payments while retaining standard closeout retainage. The committee moved, seconded and approved the payments by voice vote with no abstentions recorded.
Committee members emphasized that most remaining costs will be reconciled during closeout and that retainage will be used to resolve minor, contract-related extras. The committee did not identify any additional conditions before approval and did not schedule further hearings on the item.
