Council approved a change order to increase the value of Mel Brothers' contract for sludge/biosolids removal by $499,450 to cover additional hauled volumes.
Public Works staff explained that the contractor reached the contractual hauling limits while operations continued; recent field decisions and an alternate disposal location allowed crews to complete pumping. Staff said the final invoiced amount will likely be closer to $200,000 rather than the full $499,450 authorized, and that the change order provides the authority to finish the work while staff reconcile final hauling volumes.
