Council debates design responsibilities, approves pay application for Crawford County Wellness Center
Summary
City staff and council discussed change‑order responsibilities on the wellness center; despite debate about design and sequencing, council approved Jensen Builders' pay application for $16,278.51 and will continue contingency reconciliation during closeout.
Council members pressed staff and contractors about change orders and design choices on the Crawford County Wellness Center project, noting some items appeared to be design or engineering issues identified during construction closeout. One council member summarized the problem: “we forgot to put events in the media room, which is a pretty major thing,” underscoring concerns about planning and coordination.
Staff said they had pulled items they considered design issues back to the engineers and that the net change would be managed through the contingency log. After discussion the council approved Jensen Builders' pay application No. 21 in the amount of $16,278.51 by roll call. Staff said final retainage and O&M documentation must be returned before final closeout and that some amounts remain under review.
Council directed staff to continue reconciling contingency items and to present the remaining documentation and contingency log before final payment and project closeout.
