Cold Springs Pipeline Rehabilitation Phase 2 change order
Approved · 5-0
The council approved a $519,902.28 change order on the Cold Springs pipeline rehabilitation. About $144,000 covers railroad requirements to fill an abandoned pipe section under the railroad with flowable concrete and add a drain valve. The remaining estimate of about $376,000 is mainly additional railroad flagging and observation by RailPros. Public Works Director Cory Pierce said the figure is a conservative estimate and could come in lower.
- The original bid included about $300,000 for railroad flagging and observation
- The contractor was working five 12-hour days a week to shorten the railroad observation period
- One of the two Cold Springs pipelines was out of service during rehabilitation; the contractor expected to finish the remaining work in about ten days
