Commission approves $124,000 scope reduction for Park Creek Walls project to avoid FEMA delay
Summary
The commission authorized Change Order No. 1 for Park Creek Walls Improvements (Site 2) with Kasteloot Excavation, reducing the contract price by $124,000 after FEMA requested a new no-rise certification for embankment modifications.
The Madison City Commission authorized Change Order No. 1 on the Park Creek Walls Improvements (Site 2) contract with Kasteloot Excavation, approving a reduction in scope that lowers the contract price by $124,000.
City staff explained that initial plans included a landscape retaining wall to make slopes more maintainable. After bids, FEMA requested a new no-rise certification for the proposed embankment modification; completing that certification could have delayed the project by months. To avoid the delay, staff proposed restoring site grades to their previous condition and removing the landscape retaining wall from the scope, which reduces cost by $124,000. The commission approved the change order by voice vote.
