“Move to approve Change Order No. 1 for the Well No. 4 Connecting Watermain Improvements thereby increasing the contract amount by $1,400.41.” LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This change order provides compensation to the contractor to change the location of an
individual water service stub creating the need for the contractor to dig and restore an extra pit not planned for as a part of the original contract. The service stub was relocated at the property owner’s request to better accommodate the property owner's future connection to City water. In addition this change order includes a hydrant restocking fee to return a hydrant that was ordered
and delivered to the site but required a different hydrant to better fit the existing rural ditch
conditions. The above described changes were not included in the original contract and result in a contract increase of $1,400.41. With this change order the total project budget remains within the
authorized budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council consider, as part of the Consent Agenda, approving Change Order No. 1 for the Well No. 4 Connecting Watermain Improvements thereby increasing
the contract amount by $1,400.41. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for this action is as follows: “Move to approve Change Order No. 1 for the Well No. 4 Connecting Watermain Improvements thereby increasing the contract amount by $1,400.41.” ATTACHMENT(S): 1.
