Village of Red Hook Red Hook Infrastructure – Sewer Project Monthly Report December 2023

Red Hook Sewer Project

Substantial Completion was achieved on March 30, 2023. Restoration & Punch List are in the final stages.

General Contract:

  1. Provide record drawing per specification Section 017700.1.5.F. Awaiting final edits. 5. Provide photographic documentation (pre and post work) per Section 013223. Pre photos have been received. A deduction in the contract will be made for the Post photos. 6. There are a few properties where the grass has not been restored to an acceptable level. Reseeding will take place in Spring 2024.

FINANCING

USDA Form E #12 was sent in Dec 20, 2023. With that we have expended $7,942,854.35. That leaves $504,263.65, of this $329,151.90 is retainage.

We requested an extension of USDA to complete the final paperwork. The Electrical Contract is complete. The General Contract has two final change orders to complete – one (CO#4) for a labor rate increase. An approved amount has been sent to the contractor for their approval. The final one (CO#5) is a reduction that finalizes quantities on the project for unit price items. This one is also with the contractor for approval.

The final contract amount is likely to be under budget. Unfortunately, this means that we will receive less of the USDA grant, it will not be a reduction in the amount to be financed.
