VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. • 10. CHANGE ORDER NO. 1— NORTH FARM ROAD SANITARY SEWER PROJECT Kellogg stated this is a project that was started last fall and is in a neighborhood located on the south side of County Road 6. It has a private road. Eighty percent of the property owners petitioned to have this project move forward, so the Council approved the project and a pressure system was installed. The assessments were adopted last fall. Total costs for the project came in under the estimate slightly. Rahn asked in regards to the extra piping to protect the existing system, whether that was unforeseen or a better idea as the project was being completed. Kellogg stated each property is served by a small force main. The main trunk was installed along one side of the road. There were more properties on one side of the road than the other but that it made more sense to put the main on the other side of the road due to some wetland issues. Prior to the construction, the City has information on where the septic systems are located and his office estimates where the property owner might likely hook up to sewer on their property. Kellogg stated as in other projects, the-property owners in this neighborhood had the option to dictate where they wanted the curb stop on their property. The added length of pipe is the relocation of the service from where they were originally shown on the plans. There was one property located in the cul- de -sac area that had their curb stop depicted in one location but was moved approximately 50 feet due to an uncertainty of where the curb stop was going to go. Rahn moved, Printup seconded, to approve Change Order No. 1 for the North Farm Road Sewer • Project, E.J. Mayers, in the amount of $1,905. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. Page 13 of 21
