SANDPOINT — Bonner County commissioners voted Tuesday to approve a seventh change order of $89,426.76 for an ongoing improvements project at the Colburn solid waste site. 

The original $6,285,393 price of the contract — awarded to S & L Underground Inc. in April 2023 to modernize the decades-old Colburn solid waste facility ten miles north of Sandpoint — has now grown to $6,610,575.

Solid Waste Director Bob Howard told commissioners the new funds would cover a manual transfer switch, existing armor upgrades, existing scale upgrades, and final time and material. In a memo to the commissioners, he described it as the “final change order.”
