Summary

A final change order for NDOT project 1902817 (Mayflower Road bridge over Norfolk Southern and Nicky railroads) was approved and the board accepted NDOT's final inspection; staff said the project's final adjusted contract amount is $5,379,687.28.

The board approved change order No. 3 and accepted NDOT’s final inspection and recommendation for project 1902817—the Mayflower Road bridge over Norfolk Southern and Nicky railroads.

Skye Meaders of the Department of Infrastructure Planning & Growth described the change order as primarily an INDOT reconciliation of contract pay items that exceeded or fell short of contract quantities. Meaders said, "This project in itself, when it's all said and done, will be over by about $30, which in a 5,300,000 project's only point 6%." The board approved the final change order and separately approved the NDOT final inspection form (inspection conducted 07/15/2026), each by unanimous votes.

Why it matters: approving the change order and accepting the inspection closes out NDOT’s administrative reconciliation and clears the project toward final acceptance and closeout under INDOT procedures.
