Council ratifies change order for West Pine Street water-main project; staff says addition is modest
Summary
Council ratified a change order for the West Pine Street water-main improvements (phase 2) after staff described subsurface conditions that required adjustments. Staff characterized the added cost as modest — under 2% of the original contract — and the motion passed unanimously.
Council ratified change order No. 002 with CASEC Utilities LLC related to the West Pine Street water-main improvements, citing unrecorded subsurface conditions and needed valve work. Staff said the change order addresses encountered items not shown in records and allows the contractor to proceed; the council ratified the manager’s approval.
Staff described the requested addition as relatively small compared with the original contract, saying the requested $34,664.04 (as stated in agenda materials) was less than 2% of the total project. (The transcript also contains an inconsistent reference to $434,664.04 in a speaker’s motion; staff later confirmed the agenda packet lists $34,664.04 — see clarifying details.) The council voted to ratify the change order 5-0.
Staff said the work will also exercise and confirm valves and update GIS records; the work is intended to improve system isolation and operability.
