Body
BACKGROUND:
The City Council awarded a contract on January 20, 2015 to Schmoldt Construction in the amount of $815,923.16 for the repurposing of Pioneer Park and to create a new park in the Historic Downtown Square. The Pioneer Park project includes removing the trees, crushed granite and circular concrete bench and replacing those elements with grass, new trees and installing new benches. The Town Square project involves the removal of the existing parking lot and replacing it with a park consisting of trees, upgraded lighting and a water feature, surrounded by 35 parking spaces.
Change Order No. 1 reflects a change in scope to add four trees to the southwest corner of the Square and add the installation of two fountains on the north side of the Square where a water table sculpture was originally proposed. The trees were deleted from the original project scope to leave more open area to view the stage for the Festival at the Switchyard event. The city is supplying the fountains, pumps, pools, lights and accessories at a cost of $26,300.00.
At the April 21, 2015 TOD Sub-Committee meeting, these modifications were presented to and endorsed by the Sub-Committee.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the additional construction work in the amount of $73,985.42 is available in Account Unit 854102-113840199 (Transit Oriented Development Projects).
