The Bloomington City Board of Public Works on July 29 approved change order No. 1 for the Longview Greenway project to correct a drainage problem at the Eastern Drive approach.

Jason Kerwin of the engineering department explained that an installed approach at 3200 Longview was found to hold water after a rain event. The contractor will remove a portion of the approach and add curb and gutter with an angle to direct water into an existing drain. Kerwin said, "The original contract price was $549,433.45. The additional charge, through the contractor is $3,686.28, bringing the new contract to $553,119.73." He added the change order adds three calendar days to the contractor’s schedule.

The board approved the change order on a roll call vote recorded as Carone Aye, Roach Aye and Cox Deckard Aye. No public comment was recorded on the item at the meeting.
