The additional work funded by the DDA was authorized by DDA staff for improvements at Community High School, as well as changes to the streetscaping and landscaping in the right of way.
Primary additional road work items include milling and paving of Fifth Avenue from Ann St. to Catherine St, and from Kingsley St. to Beakes St, repaving Kingsley St from Fourth Ave. to Fifth Ave, and replacing pavement subbase to support the new road pavement.
Additional storm sewer was added to the project on Kingsley Street from Fourth Avenue to Fifth Avenue when utility work during the project revealed that the existing storm sewer was undersized and inadequate.
The change order also includes balancing the contract to reflect actual as-constructed items and quantities.
Fonson complies with the City’s Non-Discrimination and Living Wage Ordinances.
