administratively authorized September 22, 2025, that provided for additional concrete

Change Order No. 4 will primarily provide additional quantities of concrete flatwork on
Jessamine Street, Powell Street, Harvey Street, E. Davis Street and Evans Ave to facilitate the
pulverization and asphalt overlay process of all five streets subsequent to water and sewer

(CIP) plan throughout the Fiscal Year, instead of within the annual budget ordinance, as
projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond
covenants.
Funding is available in the Transfer to Water/Sewer account within the Water and Sewer
Fund for the Water Department for the purpose of funding the W&SS REPL Contract 2020
WSM-M project.
