Summary

ERS Incorporated sought an $18,222 change order tied to diesel-cost increases on an NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection project; NRCS indicated the grant would not approve the change and the court took no action after commissioners raised concerns about lack of receipts.

ERS Incorporated sought approval of an $18,222 change order to cover diesel-cost increases for a project funded through the Natural Resources Conservation Service Emergency Watershed Protection program; the court did not approve the request.

County staff and the NRCS engineer had indicated NRCS would not approve the change order, citing sufficient overhead in the project and profit margin considerations. Commissioners observed that ERS had not provided receipts documenting additional fuel costs and, after discussion, the item "died for lack of a motion," leaving the county with no approved increase to contract funding.
