M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong - to approve the payment of $104,512.11 to Widmer, Inc. for work done on subparts A-B-C of the 201 Program. (Motion carried 4-0). 2. Change Order for Landscaping Work City Engineer Bohrer reported that all lawns disturbed by the septic system installations were planned to be restored with blue grass sod. The landscaper, Mobgren Bros. Landscaping, has advised TKDA that some of the yards are so heavily wooded that bluegrass sod will not flourish. Bluegrass needs at least 50% sun to do well. The landscaper recommends restoring these areas with fescue grass. This can be done by seeding or sodding. The purpose for the proposed change order is to establish unit prices per square yard for fescue seeding with mulch or fescue sod. Each lawn will be evaluated individually for the need for fescue grass. These three change orders do not increase or decrease the contract cost, but merely establish new unit prices for this work. M/S/P Dunn/Mazzara - to approve change orders A-2, B-1, C-1 for landscaping work of the Wastewater Facilities Improvements as recommended by City Engineer Bohrer. (Motion carried 4-0).
