Sportsplex excavation hits rock; staff ask council to approve change order to cover increased capital cost
Summary
Construction at the city's Sportsplex encountered unexpected rock, and staff asked the council to approve a change order to cover the additional excavation cost; staff said the money has already been approved and the resolution would permit the expenditure.
City staff reported that excavation work at the Sportsplex hit rock, increasing the work needed and the project's capital cost, and asked the council to approve a change order to cover the overrun. A staff presenter said the contractor encountered rock and that the capital total has "went over the contracted amount that was put in there." The presenter added that the money to cover the overrun "has already been approved" and that the resolution under consideration would allow the city to spend the funds to pay the contractor. The item was presented as Resolution 25 1 83 on the work-session agenda; staff said no additional appropriation request is being made because the funds were preapproved, but council authorization is requested to execute the change order. No formal vote occurred at the work session; the change-order approval is scheduled for the regular meeting.
