Crowley approves payment and change order for Urban Park & Pavilion project; $19,009 drainage change order granted

The Crowley City Council approved application for payment No. 4 to Prestige Construction Group LLC for the Urban Park and Pavilion project in the estimated amount of $70,652.45 and separately approved Change Order No. 1 for $19,009.53 with a 16-day time extension to address original subsurface drainage repairs.

The change order was described to the council as necessary after crews uncovered original brick catch basins and culverts beneath the site that were covered and found to be in poor condition; the council voted to authorize Prestige to replace the subsurface drainage while the contractor is on site.

The motion to add the change order to the agenda and to approve the payment were each moved and passed by roll call. Meeting remarks said the work is for storm drain repairs along First Street tied to the park project, and the change order increases the contract value by the amount noted and extends contract time by 16 days.

Clarifying details from the meeting record: the transcript identifies the contractor as Prestige Construction Group LLC, specifies payment No. 4 estimate of $70,652.45, and quotes Change Order No. 1 at $19,009.53 with a 16-day extension. The council did not record additional contract documents or funding source breakdowns in the meeting discussion.
