Council approves 57-day time extension for Steamboat Pavilion ARPA upgrades
Summary
Council approved change order No. 3 for ARPA-funded upgrades to the Steamboat Pavilion, adding 57 calendar days to the contract to account for rain and schedule impacts and setting substantial completion into October.
The New Iberia City Council approved change order number 3 for the American Rescue Plan Act upgrades to the Steamboat Pavilion, adding time to the contract but not increasing the reported scope. City staff said the contractor requested a 57-day extension to cover rain delays and scheduled festival days, moving substantial completion to Oct. 29.
David Allen, the city project representative, told the council the contractor had worked weekends and multiple shifts when possible but that weather and festival logistics made the additional days necessary. Council members acknowledged the delay and noted that the work will improve the pavilion for future events.
Why this matters: The change order allows the contractor to complete interior concrete pours (dance floor and stage) and other finish work without risking noncompliance for the contract schedule.
Next steps: Staff will monitor progress and report back as work reaches final completion.
