Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $82,000 for Project 22IFB139 FM 3349 at US 79 (James Construction) P: 332 Funding Source: Road Bond.

The original bid item 36-inch Ductile Iron Pipe has long lead time for material procurement and is not readily available. The Contractor proposed two options with shorter lead times to the City of Hutto as alternatives. City of Hutto has approved option 2, which is 36-inch PVC pipe as an alternative with $82,000 increase in cost over the current item and allows contractor to procure the material faster. The cost of this material change is 100% reimbursable by the City of Hutto. See attached Change Order for additional details.

This Change Order results in a net increase of $82,0000 to the Contract amount, for an adjusted Contract total of $82,948,392.54. The original Contract amount was $81,941,038.13. As a result of this and all Change Orders to-date, $1,007,354.41 has been added to the Contract, resulting in an 1.23% net increase in the Contract cost. No additional days will be added to or deducted from the Contract as a result of this Change Order.
