Council approves Pine Street Bridge change‑order authority, adds oversight for larger modifications
Summary
City staff reported a change order extending the Pepin Creek channel about 265 feet related to the Pine Street Bridge and asked for authority to execute future change orders. Council approved the authority and added a requirement that the mayor present any change orders above the remaining unallocated loan amount of $553,293.
Public Works reported that construction of the Pine Street Bridge required a change order to extend the Pepin Creek channel north by approximately 265 feet. Staff asked the council to allow the mayor to execute future contract change orders related to the project so long as the cumulative amount does not exceed the existing 2025 budget authority for the Public Works Trust Fund project loan.
Council recorded that the remaining unallocated loan amount available for future change orders is $553,293. Councilor Brent Lenssen amended the proposed motion to require the mayor to present any change orders above that amount to council; the amended motion passed 7–0. The council's requirement adds a layer of oversight for larger future expenditures on the bridge project.
