Full report
Clermont County has reduced the value of its contract for maintenance work at three elevated water tanks and the BMW Lake intake structure by $150,150.90, while approving a 244-day extension associated with weather-delayed painting.
The Board of County Commissioners approved Change Order No. 1 with Clearcreek Coatings Ltd., of New Carlisle, Ohio, cutting the adjusted contract value to $2,896,059.10. The amendment covers inspection, evaluation and maintenance work at the Buckwheat, Day Heights and Miamiville elevated tanks in Miami Township, alongside evaluation, rehabilitation and painting of the BMW Lake intake structure in Batavia Township.
The change order set a revised completion date of June 24, 2026. A Water Resources Department representative told commissioners that three of the four locations had been completed in 2025. The final location required work in 2026 because winter conditions prevented exterior painting from being completed.
The approval updates a contract originally ratified in December 2024. It incorporates all additions, deletions and modifications under the four projects.
The development’s water maintenance bond is $16,521.64, while its sanitary-sewer combined performance and maintenance bond is $395,032.64, converting to a $19,751.63 maintenance bond.
