Council approves $2.25 million change order for City Hall project
Summary
The council approved Change Order No. 1 for the City Hall construction contract, increasing the Clementine Building Company contract by $2,250,133 to a total of $18,939,133, citing dirt/subsurface issues and mid-project reconciliation.
The Gadsden City Council authorized a $2,250,133 change order for the City Hall construction project at its July 28 meeting, increasing the contract with Clementine Building Company LLC to $18,939,133.
Council members discussed the mid-project reconciliation, noting "some dirt issues and some other things" that necessitated the increase. Mayor Ford said the added cost was part of the construction process and that the administration had "budgeted for this, expected for this," framing the adjustment as a midstream reconciliation rather than a scope expansion.
The resolution carried on a voice vote. Council members did not provide a line-item breakdown on the record in this meeting; the mayor indicated the administration believed the increase was anticipated and budgeted. Staff did not announce an updated project completion date during the public discussion recorded in the transcript.
