Summary:
Change Order No.2 (Utilities) increases the contract amount to compensate for overbilled pay items and to cover the remaining costs associated with the utility’s improvements.
Background/Explanation:

During construction an existing 2-inch water main was discovered to be of galvanized pipe that was previously unknown, prompting replacement via Horizontal Directional Drill. There were additional 6" water main piping and appurtenances constructed to increase fire protection in the community and to avoid conflicts with the parent Public Works project Lakeshore Estates Phase 2 Roadway and Drainage Improvements. The Utilities costs associated with this change order are $148,826 for a revised contract amount of $5,216,180.16.
