Suffern board approves $36,754.30 reduction to CAC rehabilitation contract with TM Enterprises

The Village of Suffern Board of Trustees approved Change Order No. 5 to the contract with TM Enterprises Inc. for the CAC Rehabilitation Project, reducing the project cost by $36,754.30.

Charles Sawicki of the Department of Public Works presented the change order for the board's consideration. "Can I have a motion authorizing to change order number 5 to TM Enterprises Inc for the CAC Rehabilitation Project, reducing the project by $36,754.30?" Sawicki asked during his presentation.

Trustee Alpert moved the approval and Trustee Corey seconded. The board approved the change order by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

Why it matters: the change order alters the project's contract price and will affect the final cost of the CAC Rehabilitation Project. The transcript did not provide the original contract amount, revised total, or the line-item basis for the reduction.

Discussion vs. decision: the presentation and the request for a motion constituted discussion; the formal board action was approval of the change order.

Next steps: staff will proceed under the amended contract terms; the transcript did not specify any subsequent reporting schedule or contractor timelines.
