Craig Smith, Division Director of Operations, presented the Department’s March Construction Change Orders (CCOs) and regional summaries at the Sept. 22 meeting.
Smith reported CCOs completed in March contained an increase of $1,505,006.66 and that the past 12 months show a 1.51% net change to original contract amounts. He detailed region-by-region adjustments: Aberdeen-region rumble-strip project PH 0010(232) decreased $214,112.52 after removing reflective pavement elements; Mitchell-region I-29 85th Street interchange work (PCN 06JQ) increased $784,917.76 for additional select fill quantities; and Corson- and Lincoln-area projects saw quantity or scope adjustments for culvert repair and milling thickness that altered contract totals.
Smith also noted contract-quantity corrections for paving, pipe lining, and traffic-control work across Pierre and Rapid City regions that produced both increases and decreases to individual contracts but a small net annual change.
