N/A
BACKGROUND:
On February 18, 2025, the City Council awarded Bid 24-212 to Bluewater Construction, LLC for an amount not to exceed $1,385,000.00 to install water mains within existing easements at Fifteen 98 Apartments adjacent to Fairway Drive and Autumn Run Apartments adjacent to Country Lakes Drive.
The contract included a completion date of October 31, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
Unforeseen site conditions beyond the contractor’s control necessitate this Change Order which includes final balancing changes reflecting as-built quantities for the contract pay items along with extra work items deemed necessary to ensure a successful project. The major extra work items include reconfigurations at several water main connections, changes to patching methods and remobilization costs resulting from delays outside the contractor’s control.
