MAPS 4 board approves minutes, financial report, change orders and park plans
Summary
At its Sept. 4 meeting the MAPS 4 Citizens Advisory Board approved minutes, received a financial report, and approved multiple change orders, contract adjustments and final plans for park projects; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The MAPS 4 Citizens Advisory Board on Sept. 4 approved routine minutes and financial reports and took multiple project actions including change orders, contract settlements and approvals to advertise final plans for park improvements.
The board approved the August 7 meeting minutes and received the monthly financial report ending July 31, 2025. The transcript records the motions and that the motions passed; no roll‑call tallies were announced during these items.
Key formal actions recorded in the meeting: • Approved Change Order No. 1 with Crossland Construction Co. for the MAPS for Family Justice Center, an increase of $124,344 (staff cited utility relocation delays and unforeseen foundation demolition as main drivers). • Approved Construction Update items and a no‑cost Change Order No. 3 with RCC Traffic (maps for bike lanes) to add 48 calendar days to the contract schedule; the change order carried no price increase. • Approved Change Order No. 3 and Amendment No. 3 with EMC Services for MAPS for Sidewalk and Related Amenities Phase 1B for an increase of $13,700 (tree removal and a manhole lid adjustment were cited). • Approved a decrease reconciliation (change order) of $348,054.20 on MAPS 4 bus stop improvements, listed as a final-quantity reconciliation ahead of final acceptance. • Adopted a resolution committing $8,502,000 of the Oklahoma City capital improvement sales tax as local match for MAPS for Advanced Transit Options (to support a federal grant application led by Embark). • Approved final plans and specifications to be advertised for South Lakes Park improvements and for C.B. Cameron Park improvements. • Approved a settlement agreement with W.L. McNatt and Company for the MAPS III Senior Wellness Center No. 3 at North Lincoln (the contract had liquidated damages; staff described a negotiated settlement to avoid protracted litigation).
Most votes were recorded on voice motions; the transcript records “motion passes” but does not list recorded yes/no/abstain tallies or named movers and seconders for each motion. Where staff provided reasons, they are recorded in meeting comments (for example, utility delays cited for the Family Justice Center change order and weather days for schedule extensions on bike lanes). Several items were described as housekeeping reconciliations or time-only change orders.
The board did not reverse or table any items listed on the agenda. Several items were described as informational updates (for example, the MAPS4 homelessness quarterly update and a staff note that a COPS Utilities relocation resolution had already gone to council and would be covered from Palomar's budget).
