Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $229,702.00 for Project 24IFB15 Liberty Hill Bypass (Chasco Constructors) P: 346 Funding Source: Road Bond.

This Change Order allows the County’s contractor to relocate an existing water line along Bagdad Road that is in conflict with the proposed Liberty Hill Bypass roadway construction. The City of Liberty Hill was scheduled to have this conflict cleared by October of 2024, but their project has now been delayed to the first quarter of 2025. In order to avoid this delay the water line work will be added to the Liberty Hill Bypass roadway project via Change Order to Williamson County's project. This will help avoid delays of the roadway construction. Multiple items will be added by this Change Order. Please see attached Change Order.

This Change Order results in a net increase of $229,702.00 to the Contract amount, for an adjusted Contract total of $14,429,911.00. The original Contract amount was $14,149,449.00. As a result of this and all Change Orders to-date, $280,462.00 has been added to the Contract, resulting in an 1.98% 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.
