Council approves consultant fee, multiple change orders and a tow after code violations
Summary
Council approved a $12,500 Phase 2 environmental site assessment fee amendment with Widseth for Oak Street, approved change orders reducing one project by $44,062 and increasing another by $21,235.25, and approved towing an inoperable vehicle at 1119 13th Street following code enforcement.
Council moved and approved a fee amendment with Widseth in the amount of $12,500 to perform a Phase 2 environmental site assessment for the Oak Street project after contaminated soils were identified during geotechnical borings. "This reflects the cost of that work," Chairman Erickson said when presenting the recommendation.
The council also approved change order number 1 for Improvement 2505 (Southeast Brainerd reconstruction) that reduced the contract by $44,062 after right‑of‑way negotiations changed project limits, and change order number 6 for Improvement 1712 (Wright Street and South 10th Street) for $21,235.25 to cover increased turf quantities and material costs; staff said the contractor agreed to cover associated labor for some repairs. Finally, the council approved a committee recommendation to tow an inoperable vehicle at 1119 13th Street after citations and photographs in the packet documented violations and staff reported appropriate notices were provided.
