Body
On July 8, 2024, M&J General Contractors was awarded the contract for the construction of Toledo and Alava Park through a competitive solicitation process issued as IFB 2024-017 in the amount of $945,035.33.
The project included the following scope of services: construction of new park including play structure, hardscape, landscape, butterfly garden, and irrigation. During the course of completing the project, it was discovered that additional services for site drainage work were necessary to finalize the project. The additional spending authority being requested will address the changes identified and future unforeseen conditions, allowing the timely completion of this project.
Under Section 2-764 of the Procurement Code entitled “Approval of Change Orders and Contract Modifications,” the spending authority shall be modified in the amount of $75,000, or not to exceed available budget, to allow for additional funds necessary to address drainage needs encountered during construction and any other unforeseen matters related to the project.
Fiscal Impact
Addressing drainage issues during the construction phase will be far easier/cost effective than addressing while the park is operational.
