Consideration and Approval of Change Order No. 3: Coconino/Elden/Humphreys 2010 Bond Improvements.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Change Order No. 3 with Eagle Mountain Construction Co. in the amount of $303,511, *to authorize the contractor to replace deteriorated water and sewer mains in Cottage Avenue from Mike's Pike to Beaver Street, and extend the contract by 35 calendar days.

2) Reject this Change Order and postpone the additional work to a future project. A future project would disrupt the neighborhood again. Maintenance costs of the existing water and sewer mains will likely increase until they are replaced.
