Town authorizes contingency and client‑savings use for wastewater plant Phase 2
Summary
The board authorized the supervisor to sign contingency‑usage and client‑savings documents for the wastewater treatment plant Phase 2 project, which staff said is an $86 million contract with contingency funds used to reinstate previously value‑engineered items or cover unforeseen underground conditions.
The Town Board authorized contingency and client‑savings usage tied to the wastewater treatment plant Phase 2 project.
Staff described an $86,000,000 construction contract for the facility and explained the role of contingency funds for unforeseen work (for example, buried tanks or other underground discoveries) and for reintegrating items removed during value engineering. The board approved a motion directing the supervisor to sign the contingency‑usage and client‑savings documents so funds could be used for the plant as needed.
Board members commended project staff for managing scope and returning savings to the project when possible. The authorization allows project managers to address emergent conditions and to reinsert previously deferred items into the scope of work as the project advances.
