Callaway approves Cherry Street contract line‑item shift and $155,250 change order
Summary
The commission approved a transfer of line items between two Cherry Street contracts to fund drainage inlets and accepted a change order totaling $155,250 to cover rehabilitation work and drainage inlet costs.
City staff told commissioners that two Cherry Street projects—the LAP portion (sidewalks) and the main rehab (drainage and sidewalks)—had drainage inlet funding allocated incorrectly between contracts. To cover the drainage work the city will shift the line item from the LAP contract into the rehab contract and process a change order for the rehab contract.
City Manager reported the initial summary listed $150,000 but the actual change order amount is $155,250. A resident asked whether LAP funding would need an explicit contract reduction; staff explained the funding sources are separate and the invoicing and CEI (construction engineering inspector) processes ensure work is validated before payment. The commission approved the line‑item shift and the associated change order.
Staff said invoices are verified by the engineer and the CEI before payment; when federal funds are involved the grant administrator also reviews invoices. The shift does not increase total project costs to the city, staff said—it transfers budget between contract line items so the rehab contract can be paid for the drainage work.
