City of Rensselaer Board of Public Works & Safety Meeting
The board discussed the Lead Service Line Replacement Project, specifically addressing the approval of Commonwealth Dispersing Request Form 8L and a change order with Rex Construction. The change order, which includes a cost increase of over $130,000 and a 60-day project extension, was necessitated by INDOT permit requirements concerning pedestrian traffic control, flowable fill backfill, and asphalt paving. Board members expressed concerns regarding the project's progress and the contractor's performance before ultimately approving the change order. The meeting also included preliminary discussions regarding future disbursement request forms and pay applications.
