RE: City of Waukee
U Place Culvert Replacement
Change Order No. 1 / Pay Estimate No. 4 - Final / Project Acceptance
Dear Mr. Koester:
We have coordinated with the Contractor and City staff performing field observation and find the
above referenced project to be in substantial completion. As such you will find the following
enclosures:
• Change Order No. 1
• Final Pay Estimate
• Project Acceptance Certification
Change Order No. 1 is a balancing change order for the above referenced project showing
adjustments to the contract bid quantities and dollars to reflect final constructed amounts. The
original contract amount was $346,032.30 and the final construction cost was $349,761.70. The
$3,729.40 increase is due to the adjustment of contract quantities, there were no other change
orders.
The Final Pay Estimate includes Change Order No. 1. We have coordinated with the Contractor
and City staff performing field observation regarding the actual work completed to date and
recommend the City make payment in the amount of $9,922.52 to:
Nagel Construction, LLC
2601 140th St.
Allerton, IA 50008
3% retainage in the amount of $306.88 (for this pay application, $10,492.85 total) should be held
by the City until 30 days after project acceptance and completion of any punch list items are
completed to the satisfaction of the City.
Additionally, we have coordinated with the Contractor and City staff performing field observation
and a final project walkthrough was held on May 14, 2026 to develop a punch list. We find the
project to be in substantial compliance with the Plans, Specifications, and Change Orders
governing construction of this project within the contract period. As such, following satisfactory
completion of the punch list, we recommend the City accept the project which will initiate the start
of the four-year maintenance bond as specified in the contract documents. 30 days after project
acceptance, we recommend the City release the 3% held retainage in the amount of $10,492.85
to:
