DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On December 2, 2025, the Board awarded a contract to Green Construction Technologies, Inc. for the construction of a landscaping buffer along the southern and eastern boundaries of the Southwest Regional Water Reclamation Facility (SW Regional WRF). This project will establish a visual barrier to screen the facility from view. In addition to improving aesthetics, the buffer will assist the department in mitigating the migration of odors associated with the wastewater treatment process.
Change Order 1, being presented today, adds funding to cover the cost of design revisions and associated construction enhancements necessary to accommodate site conditions and permitting requirements. The revised design replaces the originally planned 8-foot PVC privacy fence with a combination of berms, stack block wall sections, and a 6-foot PVC fence, eliminating the need for a 130-MPH certified wall design while maintaining the intended screening function. Additional modifications include retaining the existing roller gate, reducing fence removal quantities, and adjusting landscaping and irrigation improvements to accommodate gate operations and ongoing maintenance. The change order also extends the contract completion time by 90 calendar days to allow for the additional work and permit review process.
The change order is attached for review. Upon approval at today’s meeting, it will be presented to the Chairman for signature.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; additional expenditure of $36,042.75, bringing the total purchase order amount to $267,745.75. Funding is from ZF448536-562102 (Marion County Utility Fund).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve the change order, authorize the Chairman and Clerk to execute, and allow staff to issue the change order to Green Construction Technologies, Inc. under 26B-008.
