Commission approves change order to close out Morningside South Sewer project
Summary
Council approved Change Order No. 1 for the Morningside South Sewer project to account for additional field work, including two added manholes and related service pipe; staff said the additions were necessary to close out the project.
Staff explained that during the Morningside South Sewer project an expected easement was refused by one property owner, requiring the project team to seek alternative property and install additional pipe and two 48-inch manholes to complete the connection. Staff said this work was necessary to finalize the project and described the work as completed on an emergency or as-needed basis in the field.
Council discussed change-order concerns but approved the request by voice vote. Staff noted the project now has warranty documentation and that approving the change order will allow the city to close out the contract. Quote: "This is what's needed to close the project out," a staff speaker said during the discussion.
What happens next: With the change order approved, staff will submit final closeout documents and warranty paperwork to finalize the Morningside South Sewer project.
