Select Board approves three DPW change orders, including Bishop Road and Right Way projects

Dan Hennepin, public works director, presented three final or supplemental change orders and requested signature authority for the chair. He said the Bishop Road water-main extension required additional drainage and fittings, extending the contract time by 60 days and recommending a change order; in the presentation the amount was given as $128,890 but the motion recorded a different figure ($28,890). The board approved the change order for signature by the chair.

Hennepin also described a final change order for Mill Street drainage ($8,147.04) to address drainage adjustments and balance estimated versus actual quantities; the board approved that change order. Finally, right-way sewer pump station work required additional time and restoration items, and a change order of $20,050.31 was approved.

"We recommend moving forward with this change order $128,890 for a signature by the chair with a substantial completion extension to November 8," Hennepin said during the Bishop Road discussion (transcript shows the administration's figure), and later a motion recorded a different numeric amount. The Select Board voted to approve the change orders and authorized signature by the chair.
