ON THE QUESTION
Daniel Hudson, City Engineer
So we bring before you two different sewer items. This first one is for the repair of sewer. You may recall from
previous discussions that we do a lot of video inspection and lining. That’s going to be a future item tonight.
This item is a change order for actually digging up and replacing pipes that have collapsed or are in such poor
condition that we’re not able to line them. Back to Sur Construction West was awarded a contract in 2020 via
competitive bid for the work. They did an excellent job last year. We did a change order midway through the
year last year so we could accomplish some additional work and we bring before you a third change order to
that contract to try to extend that work through this season as well given that we had good success with them.
Vice-Chairman Klee
Thank you Mr. Hudson. Are there any questions? Comments?
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you Madam Vice-Chairman. Could you just tell me — the change order numbers? We’re missing the
number 2. Is that just an oversight? It looks like in the...
Daniel Hudson, City Engineer
Yes | can address that. Yeah you're correct. There was a change order 1 that was for a significant sum last
year because we added a bunch of work on Water Street. There was a change order 2. It was a small change
order. | believe it was less than $25,000 so it didn’t reach the level of being brought to this committee. That
was because we were a little bit delayed getting this going this year. We brought in a sewer bond and so we’re
a little bit late getting this going so that $25,000 or slightly less was brought just so we could continue to do
some work that was related to paving or paving streets to keep things moving. You may be missing the detail
on that change order 2 which was a small change.
Alderwoman Lu
Okay. The project total, | think, is correct. It includes that $25,000 it look likes to me. Okay thank you.
Vice-Chairman Klee
Is that? Thank you so much Alderwoman Lu. Any other questions?
A viva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:
Yea: Alderman Klee, Alderwoman Lu, Alderman Laws, Alderman O’Brien 4
Nay: 0
