Board grants 14‑day no‑cost extension for Hammond Avenue Phase 2 after gas‑main delay
Summary
The board approved Change Order No. 2: a 14‑day, no‑cost extension for Hammond Avenue Phase 2 reconstruction after NIPSCO’s gas‑main relocation delayed work about two weeks; staff said the extension follows state process for a state‑funded project.
The Board approved a no‑cost, 14‑day extension for Hammond Avenue Phase 2 to accommodate a NIPSCO gas‑main relocation that delayed construction. City staff said the delay was roughly two weeks and characterized the change order as reasonable for a state‑funded project subject to state procedures.
"It took them 2 about 2 weeks to do that," one staff speaker said regarding the NIPSCO relocation, and recommended approval of the no‑cost change order. Board members moved, seconded and approved the change order by voice vote.
Staff noted the extension is required to align contractor schedules with utility relocations and with state oversight for the project.
