The Board of Public Works approved change order No. 5 — describing upgraded lighting poles and concrete — and pay estimate No. 4 for the 2025 Downtown Mall redevelopment Phase 2 with Pembroke Companies. Staff described line-item changes including about $12,000 for heavier poles and a $264 concrete upcharge; the pay estimate was $388,923.19.
The Board of Public Works approved change order No. 5 and pay estimate No. 4 for the 2025 Downtown Mall redevelopment Phase 2 contract with Pembroke Companies.
Staff described the change order as primarily electrical work and some concrete. According to the transcript, the supplier of the “Cantonary” (canopy/catenary) lighting poles determined the original poles were undersized, and the project upgraded to heavier poles and larger bases. The presenter said that upgrade added about $12,000. The presenter also reported a $264 upcharge for higher-strength concrete and said a reduction in conduit size produced some savings. The presenter summarized a net change and recommended approval; the transcript records the net change order as reported in the meeting as roughly $11,006.30.
Later in the same agenda sequence staff presented pay estimate No. 4 for Phase 2, in the amount of $388,923.19, and recommended approval; the board moved, seconded and approved both items by voice vote.
The transcript records the technical reasons cited for the lighting-pole upgrade and the line items mentioned, but it does not include the supplier’s written justification, revised shop drawings, or a final, itemized change-order form in the record. The board’s approvals were routine voice votes with no recorded dissent.
