Council approves multiple credits and back‑charge settlements on municipal building renovation
Summary
Council approved several change orders and credits that reduce contract sums for municipal building renovations, including negotiated back‑charges totaling $25,000 returned from Rycon Construction and credits of $36,767.39 and $12,882.54.
Plymouth Township Council approved a series of change orders Aug. 10 that reduced the municipal building renovation contract sums through back‑charges and credits and included a negotiated monetary settlement with the general contractor.
Councilmember Monero moved a credit change order (GCDash004) reducing the contract by $36,767.39; Monero explained these are back charges for work performed by Wind Gap Electrical on behalf of Rycon Construction. Council later approved an additional credit change order (GCDash005) reducing the contract by $12,882.54 for similar back‑charge items and discussed a negotiated $25,000 settlement that returns funds to the township from Rycon Construction after punch‑list items were identified. Another electrical change order (EC007) and a small $1,359.44 relocation charge were approved as part of the process; council members said the net effect is no direct fiscal impact to the township where back charges were deducted from the contractor's sums.
Council recorded unanimous roll‑call votes in favor of the credits and settlements. Council noted the approvals were tied to documented back‑charges and punch‑list negotiations with the contractor and that the municipal renovation project remains under standard contract administration procedures.
