Board ratifies $150,786.09 MRI change order after member raises process concerns
Summary
The River Ridge board ratified MRI Construction Change Order Estimate #500 for Phase I and II stormwater projects totaling $150,786.09; Vice Chair Terry Mountford called the approval process a "major dysfunction" and questioned proceeding without a special meeting, while other members said timing and fund carryover explained the decision.
District Engineer Charlie Krebs and PSGRC General Manager Eric Long explained that change-order work and relocating inlets followed field conditions and homeowner input. Vice Chair Terry Mountford criticized the process, saying "there is a major dysfunction in the CDD’s operating process" and objecting to approving another $150,786.09 without a special meeting given the CDD was reportedly already "$300,000+ over budget" for similar work.
Assistant Secretary Kurt Blumenthal and others responded that the apparent overrun was a timing issue: projects slated for Fiscal Year 2024 carried into Fiscal Year 2025, carrying available loan funds forward. On motion by Mr. Blumenthal and seconded by Mr. Merrill, with all in favor, the board ratified MRI Construction, Inc. Change Order Estimate #500 for Price Changes of Phase 1 and Phase II Stormwater Management Projects, in the amount of $150,786.09.
