APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 FOR WELCH ROAD PROJECT
Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve Change Order No. 1 to Howland Engineering and Surveying Co., for additional construction material testing (Box Culverts) in the amount of $3,400.00 for the Webb County Welch Road Project; and have the County Judge sign any relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #2007-7150-001-432001 (Professional Services)]

Issue: We currently have exceeded the contract amount of $5,305.00 (Purchase Order 2023-00001293). This project required additional concrete sampling for the concrete culverts proposed for the project. Based on our observations, the concrete culverts were initially to be pre-cast as opposed to cast-in-place. Due to the aforementioned, concrete samples were taken for every day's pour. Additionally, extra density tests were taken within the backfill for the box culverts and the roadway improvements. Based on current progress with this project, we are still in need of performing additional tests. Howland has updated the CMT (Construction Material Testing) quantities with the cast in place culvert concrete cylinders along with additional density and asphalt tests.

Solution: Approval of the new proposed changes in order to finish and close this road project. This project is an in-kind project with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for future projects.

Result: Approval of change order will continue and finish with project modifications.
