Pleasant View OKs $687,712 design-build contract for pickleball courts with EK Bailey

The Pleasant View City Council approved a design-build contract with EK Bailey for a pickleball facility and authorized staff to finalize the contract with three attorney-recommended changes.

Council members discussed the contract and a staff summary that said the approval is the next step in design and will allow the city to move into the construction phase after the design work is complete. The contract amount was stated in the motion at $687,712.

Staff noted there are three cleanup items the city attorney requested be incorporated into the motion: a revision to the project start/finish dates, updating the city administrator name in the contract exhibit, and aligning the contract completion period (12 months) with the specific calendar completion date (the contract as drafted listed August 1, which conflicted with a 12-month allowance). A staff member explained: "So the completion date needs to be changed? Yes." Council members accepted those attorney edits as part of the motion.

The motion approved the contract with the attorney's changes and the council carried the motion by voice vote. Council members said they plan to meet with EK Bailey and review the line-item budget and schedule in detail before work begins.

The contract was described as a design-build arrangement, which the staff presenter said differs from the city—s typical procurement approach but was the recommended route to get the project moving.

No revisions to funding sources or final construction schedule were recorded in the excerpt; staff said they had been meeting regularly with project stakeholders and would return with more detailed, itemized budget and schedule information.
