Gadsden City Council on Jan. 27 approved a resolution authorizing change order No. 1 for Bid No. 3519 on the Gaston Sports Park Phase 4 project, adding $228,476.22 for final reconciliation of additions and deletions. The chair said the adjusted contract amount with Bob Smith Construction Company Incorporated is $4,465,439.97.
The motion to adopt the resolution carried by voice vote after brief discussion about next steps. Heath, a city staff member, confirmed this is the final change order for Phase 4 and that Phase 5 is being advertised for bids; he said Phase 5 was scheduled to bid that afternoon.
“Bob Smith Construction Company has done a good job for us over there. I appreciate what you've done to help move it along,” the chair said during discussion, praising the contractor’s work and the appearance of the park.

The council did not propose any amendments to the change order on the floor.
Next steps: staff indicated Phase 5 bidding would proceed; no additional public hearings or council votes on Phase 4 were announced at the meeting.
