Council approves $29,228 change order for Wakefield Clubhouse entrance improvements
Summary
Westminster's council approved change order No. 5 to Wickersham Construction, adding $29,228 to the Wakefield Valley Park pavilion and community building renovation to replace deteriorated pavers and install an ADA-compliant concrete sidewalk; funds will be allocated via a future budget amendment.
The Westminster Mayor and Common Council approved change order number 5 to Wickersham Construction for exterior entranceway access improvements at the Wakefield Valley Park pavilion and community building, increasing the project cost by $29,228.
City staff described deteriorated brick pavers, failing railroad-tie retaining walls and broken steps leading to the building and said the change order will remove the damaged elements, perform site grading and topsoil placement, seed grass, and install a new concrete sidewalk from the curb to an ADA-compliant landing. Staff said the timeline for project completion will not change because the work will be done concurrently with the existing punch-list tasks. Council members were told funds will be provided by a future budget amendment, likely beginning with the general fund until other sources are identified.
Miss Gerber, who presented the item as the project representative, recommended approval. Council member Huff moved the change order and council member Gilbert seconded. Several council members supported the change as addressing both safety risks and the appearance of the building; one councilor noted that the original entrance had been built "on the cheap" and that the change would be an improvement.
The council approved the change order by voice vote. The record shows the council discussed funding sources, with staff saying the city typically starts with the general fund and will identify alternatives before the formal budget amendment.
