Title
Resolution to Recommend Approval of Change Order #1 to the Construction Agreement with C.A. Hull Co., Inc. for the Leslie Park and Sylvan Park Bridge Replacements Project ($151,527.47 Increase; $851,392.48 Total Contract)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is Change Order #1 to the Construction Agreement with C.A. Hull Co., Inc. for additional work on the Leslie Park and Sylvan Park Bridge Replacements Project.
At Leslie Park, additional pathway replacement was required due to the deteriorated condition of the existing pathway east of the proposed bridge. Also, additional riprap stabilization was placed beyond the identified contract quantity to properly stabilize the streambank adjacent to the bridge.
At Sylvan Park, the location of the proposed bridge was shifted during construction to avoid conflict with an existing sanitary sewer. This conflict resulted in additional costs to complete the bridge installation including added clearing, stabilization, and dewatering.
The Construction Contract for the Leslie Park and Sylvan Park Bridge Replacements was approved by City Council on December 16, 2024, in the amount of $699,865.01.
Changer Order #1 for the additional scope of work for the Leslie Park and Sylvan Park Bridge Replacements is $151,527.47 and, if approved, would result in a total contract amount of $851,392.48.
The Park Advisory Commission recommended approval of this Change Order at their May 19, 2026 meeting.
