Board ratifies $150,786.09 MRI change order after members raise process concerns
On a unanimous voice vote Jan. 28, the River Ridge CDD ratified MRI Construction Change Order Estimate #500 for Phase I/II stormwater work in the amount of $150,786.09; Supervisor Terry Mountford objected to approving additional expense without a special meeting and staff were directed to draft rules for similar future situations.
The full story
Board members discussed a Change Order for MRI Construction covering Phase I and Phase II stormwater management projects and the relocation of several inlets prompted by field conditions. District Engineer Charlie Krebs and Eric Long explained the field-driven reasons for the Change Order; Supervisor Terry Mountford objected strongly, saying the CDD was already more than $300,000 over budget for these projects and that approving an additional $150,786.09 without scheduling a special meeting was not fiscally responsible. Mountford said Pelican Sound would not approve such expenditures without Board approval.
