Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing change order number 1 with Texas Sterling Construction Co. for the Calder Road Improvements Project (ST1002) to increase the contract amount by $129,240.24 (Director of Public Works)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize change order number 1 in the amount of $129,240.24 for the construction of the Calder Road Improvements Project.

2. WCD No. 2 - This included the addition of two-months of interim TCP to facilitate utility relocation, and modifications to the interim TCP to allow TWO WAY traffic from League City Parkway to Turner Road to facilitate the new retail businesses (increase amount of $9,492.24).
