McCracken County Fiscal Court approved a series of construction change orders that together extend the Paducah Sports Park substantial completion date by 73 days, moving the target to March 1, 2026, and amended the project budget to $70,563,017.
The action covers multiple contractors and line-item credits and additions. The court approved a change order that reduces the Sprint Clerk LLC contract by $129,992.49, revising that contract to $6,963,586.51, with credit items described for drainage removal and game-line marking. The court also approved an AMP Construction change order that increases that contract by $2,571,610.42, yielding a new contract amount read aloud as $51,342,449.25. Additional change orders for Avanti Restaurant Solutions and other vendors were approved with net credit and debit line items as read into the record.
Court members discussed specific construction adjustments. A staff member described redesign work on subsurface drainage and said the backstop extensions for some fields were moved from 25 feet to 30 feet to better accommodate older youth tournaments. The court also heard that the contract time extensions align with prior approved extensions and that insurance covers above-ground elements, with below-ground coverage addressed as part of construction insurance.
The judge executive was authorized repeatedly to sign documents and the treasurer was authorized to pay invoices related to the amended contracts and budget. The court approved the change orders and the budget amendment by voice vote.
The actions combined several previously authorized items and reflected credits for owner-direct purchases and other negotiated adjustments; the record indicates some credits for direct owner purchases totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars across multiple line items. The court recorded the new total Paducah Sports Park project budget as $70,563,017.
The court did not take additional public testimony on the changes during the minutes provided; staff fielded questions about insurance and specific field adjustments during the motion discussion. Future status updates or additional contract adjustments were not specified in the record provided.
