Council hears request for $145,000 budget amendment to finish Hoover MET improvements
Summary
Staff requested a $145,000 budget amendment to cover shortfalls discovered in recent pay applications for the Hoover MET project; presenters said the overage represents roughly 1.4% above budget and will complete the work.
City staff asked the council to approve a $145,000 budget amendment to bring the Hoover MET improvements project to completion after reviewing pay application 10 and 11.
A presenter said the last two pay applications revealed the project was short of previously budgeted amounts and that the $145,000 would "get us to the very end of the project." Staff noted retainage remains and that the figure represents just over a 1 percent overage—later clarified as 1.4 percent.
Project changes that contributed to the additional cost included a change order approved by the parks board adding a new gate and additional pavement at the lower left field entrance and "stubbing out some utilities from the third base club for a future expansion," staff told the council. A presenter said those items were a benefit to the project.
Staff said the requested funds would come from bond funds that were released after moving PAC funding to capital projects. The transcript records questions and explanations but does not show a final recorded vote on the amendment during this session.
