Approval of Change Order No. 18, General Contractor Services, Plumbing Tie-in to Backflow Preventer for an amount not to exceed $1,260 resulting from its required relocation for the Highwaymen Museum project.

This change order covers the cost of connecting the plumbing system to both the backflow preventer and the building, ensuring proper integration and compliance with utility requirements. Because the backflow preventer was required to be relocated, the contractor was asked to complete the installation during the parking lot reconstruction. Public Works Director Jason Atkinson has reviewed the work and determined that the proposal represents a fair and reasonable cost for the services provided.

This item was presented at the December 1, 2025 City Commission meeting due to ownership and funding interests.
