Council increases Redondo restroom replacement contingency and moves budget amendment
Summary
Council approved an increase of $130,000 to the construction contingency for the Redondo restroom replacement, and directed staff to bring the corresponding budget amendment; both votes were unanimous, 7-0.
The Des Moines City Council approved an increase to the project construction contingency for the Redondo restroom replacement project in the amount of $130,000, raising the project’s construction contingency to $320,000. The council also directed staff to prepare a budget amendment to add the amended project to the CIP and 2025 capital budget.
Why it matters: Staff said the increase allows use of the contractor already on site to install an adjacent parking-structure element and avoids a separate rebid; the funds are intended to be drawn from marina parking-structure project savings.
Action and vote: Councilmember Harris moved the contingency increase and Deputy Mayor Steinmetz seconded; both motions (the contingency increase and the related budget amendment) passed 7-0.
Next steps: Staff will incorporate the change into the next available budget amendment ordinance and proceed with the contractor work.
