Polk County commissioners approved a $8,400 change order March 5 for the Cave Spring Road project to add edge line striping and accommodate longer guardrail posts.
Public Works staff explained that edge line striping was not included in the original bid but would have been required; striping cost is $3,000. Unidentified underground utilities required the guardrail to be set farther from the pavement, necessitating longer posts at a cost of $5,400. An earlier figure discussed with committees was $11,100, but actual material costs totaled $8,400.
Commissioner Chuck Thaxton moved to approve the change order; Commissioner Gary Martin seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
