Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 5 in the amount of ($155,246.74) for Project T5045 Hutto Water Line Realignment (Austin Underground, Inc.) P: 390 Funding Source: Road Bond.

This Change Order provides the final balancing for the overruns/underruns of Contract quantities on the project that are a result of addressing field conditions not accounted for in the original plans. This Change Order also adds line stops, gate valves, and open cutting for encasement to allow for an easier transition from the old water line to the new water line.

This Change Order also adds an additional sixty-six (66) days to the Contract. The additional time was necessary to account for the time it takes to fuse of the HDPE pipe, installing a temporary bypass water line at CR 401, and for the permanent relocation of the Jonah water line on CR 401.

Multiple items will be added by this Change Order. Please see attached Change Order.
