Board approves 30‑day extension for Breen Park pickleball lights deadline after supplier delay
Summary
Merkle Companies requested a 30‑day contract extension to move the Breen Park pickleball court lighting completion date from May 23 to June 23 due to supplier delays in light‑pole delivery; the board approved the change order by voice vote.
The Board of Public Works approved a request to extend the completion deadline for the Breen Park pickleball court lighting project from May 23 to June 23 after contractor Merkle Companies reported supply‑chain delays in receiving light poles.
Public Works Director Josh Marowitz presented the request, saying the poles were delayed by circumstances outside the contractor’s control and that the contractor has assured staff installation will begin immediately upon pole arrival. "That 30 days was kind of an arbitrary, date extension," Marowitz said, adding that the contractor reported parts were shipped and planned to start work the week of May 19.
A board member suggested tabling if staff lacked details; after Marowitz explained shipment timing and assurances from the contractor, the board approved the change order by voice vote. No dollar change to the contract was discussed in the transcript excerpt; staff recommended the extension to avoid rolling weekly or monthly schedule slips.
