City seeks budget amendment to cover extra testing and consultant work on Hoover Met renovation
Summary
Staff requested an amendment to make a consultant whole for additional days and to cover escalated steel and concrete testing costs on the Hoover Met renovation project; staff described the recent third-party review as successful.
City staff asked the council to amend the fiscal-year budget to cover additional consultant work and increased testing costs related to the Hoover Metropolitan Stadium renovation. A staff presenter said the city hired a third-party consultant for a review of a renovation phase; the coordination among contractor, owner and consultant "was almost seamless."
The presenter said the consultant's original proposal covered 120 calendar days and did not get the consultant through March; staff asked the council to "make them whole" for work completed beyond that period. The presenter also said steel and concrete testing increased beyond initial estimates, contributing to the request for additional funds. No dollar figure for the amendment was provided in the work session and no vote was taken; staff said the change reflects work already performed and escalated testing costs.
