Board approves payment to contractor after sidewalk work exceeded quote
Summary
Board members discussed a sidewalk project that ran over its original quote — board members said the contractor used thicker, higher-quality concrete and dug out more material — and approved paying contractor 'Scott' the remaining balance, an overage the board estimated verbally at about $11,500.
Board members agreed to pay the contractor for additional work on a district sidewalk after the job exceeded the original quote. Committee members said the contractor used stronger concrete and increased thickness, and also removed and replaced more material than anticipated, producing an overage the board approximated in discussion as about $11,500.
"We used a better concrete and and he went thicker than the original," S6 said, explaining the higher cost. Committee member S5 moved to pay Scott the remainder of the contract; the motion was seconded, and the board approved payment by voice vote. The transcript includes a garbled numeric reference to the overage; the exact dollar figure was not read back on the record and is recorded here as approximate.
