1. Staff recommends motion to approve: Change Order (CO) No. 3 to the Wellfield

Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

Palm Beach County is considering a change order for the Wellfield Improvements Phase 2 project. This project involves replacing and rehabilitating surficial production wells, upgrading electrical cables, and installing fiber optic cable. The proposed change order, number 3, would extend the project completion time by 317 calendar days. This extension is due to delays from a supplier of electric panels, issues with obtaining gravel for well development, and power connection delays. The project is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The work involves significant underground utility and electrical upgrades, well construction, and potentially site preparation. Contractors specializing in utility work, electrical systems, well drilling, and general construction may find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement could be beneficial as final plans and permits are still being settled.
