Change Order/Contract Modification: Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project
Mr. Reynolds presented proposed Change Order No. 3 to the construction contract with IMCO. The
change order includes 18 discrete additive and deductive changes for which pricing has been negotiated
for a net total of$207,348.62. Mr. Reynolds described each item one briefly. He said the largest item is
Item J, the electrical switchgear, which was proposed by the contractor and accepted by the engineers
who concurred that the change would make the plant more reliable. Mayor Maxwell complimented the
team on the very low change order rate to date,just slightly over 0.5% of the total contract. Mrs.
Richardson and Mr. Turner echoed that sentiment. Mr. Adams emphasized that some changes are
deductive and save the City money.
