Pumping station project delayed; council tables $80,430 inspection amendment pending USDA documentation
Summary
GMB engineers told the council the Pumping Station project's substantial completion slipped from Nov. 29, 2025 toward January 2026. The council tabled a proposed amendment for up to $80,430 in additional full‑time inspection services and requested USDA documentation showing full‑time inspection is required.
GMB engineers Jason Lytle and Andrew Lynch updated the Trappe Town Council on the Pumping Station project, saying the job—originally scheduled for substantial completion on Nov. 29, 2025 with 30 additional days to final completion—is running behind and "is looking to be completed in January 2026." The delay prompted a request for an amendment to the owner–engineer agreement to fund additional, full‑time inspection services required by USDA.
Lytle presented the proposed amendment as a not‑to‑exceed additional $80,430, with costs to be adjusted as services are used. The council asked the engineers to provide documentation from USDA demonstrating a full‑time inspector is required before taking further action and tabled the amendment until the December meeting. Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan and the council emphasized that written confirmation of USDA requirements is necessary before approving additional expense.
