Change Order No. 3, to FirstMark Construction, in the amount of $4,543.90, accounts for minor additions to pay for items that were unexpected as part of the construction operation.  Also it contains deductions taken out of the project that were not essential in the first phase of construction and would be in the way or damaged as part of future phases of construction. See Change Order No. 3, Attachment A. Change Order #3 is coming before Council for consideration and approval because it exceeds the signing authority of the City Administrator for this project.  If Change Order No. 3 is approved, the remaining project budget will be $23,107.                 




 

City Council may:

• Approve Change Order No. 3, to FirstMark Construction, for the amount of $4,543.90, or;
• Disapprove Change Order No. 3 and provide staff with additional guidance. 

Sufficient budget authority exists to cover the cost of this change order, approval will not require additional budget authority.  If the Change order #3 is approved, the remaining project budget will be $23,000.               

 

Staff recommends that Council approve Change Order No. 3, to FirstMark Construction, in the amount of $4,543.90.
