Round Rock officials approved an $88,546.77 change order for the University Boulevard widening project, bringing the total cost of the project to $13,047,276.29.
During a March 14 City Council meeting, city staff presented the project’s eighth change order for approval. The new expenditure will allow the project’s contractor, DeNucci Constructors, to remove a 12-inch asbestos water line discovered while work was underway on the project.
In February, officials approved a $553,313.07 change order to relocate the water line, effectively redirecting and replacing it, and assist with other project modifications, a process separate from removing the existing asbestos pipe.
DeNucci Constructors won the $12,028,913 University widening project contract in late 2020. The additional costs approved by council are to be paid through the city’s transportation and economic development corporation and the self-financed water fund.
