Commissioners approved a final balancing change order on April 8 for the Shelby Farms Green Line extension from the old Cordova train depot toward Leno Road.
Jim Crook, project engineer with Roads and Bridges, said the change order supplied gravel needed for subbase leveling and added roughly 2.2 miles to bring the Green Line to about 13 miles total. He told commissioners the prime contractor is Wagner General Contractors and that the disadvantaged-business-enterprise goal (DBE) of 20% was met by two local firms, Campbell and Ford Construction. Crook said Tennessee Department of Transportation approved the change order and will fund 80% of the cost.
The record lists the change order funding as federal/state grant funds of $289,445.31 and Roads & Bridges matching funds of $72,361.33. The commission voted to forward the item with a favorable recommendation.
"It added approximately 2.2 miles of trail and increased the total length of the green line to approximately 13 miles," Crook said.
Outcome: item moved, seconded and approved in committee; administration recommended approval.
