Knoxville council approves $88,486.87 change-order decrease

The Knoxville City Council’s minutes record Change Order No. 6 for the 2023 Street Improvement Project as a decrease of $88,486.87, approved at its regular meeting Nov. 2, 2026. The meeting began at 6:15 p.m., and all votes on the change order were in favor.

Does that mean the full street project will cost $88,486.87 less? The minutes do not establish that. They do not identify the work items behind the decrease or give a revised contract total, so the recorded amount cannot be treated as a confirmed reduction in the project’s overall cost or as a net saving to the city.

KNIA-KRLS also reported that the council approved a street-improvement change order at the meeting, but its report did not state the amount. The city minutes specify no further step for Change Order No. 6.
