Council approves $32,426.13 final change order to close out Pickleball Court project
Summary
The council approved change order No. 2 for the Pickleball Court project, a $32,426.13 final closeout request covering extra excavation, a safety handrail, an additional inlet and landscaping work.
The Arlington City Council approved change order No. 2, the final change order and closeout for the Pickleball Court project, in the amount of $32,426.13.
Project manager Jim Kelly told the council the largest single cost was extra excavation and import of stormwater material caused by a calculation error in the quantity estimate; other items covered by the change order included installing a safety handrail, adding a stormwater inlet and topsoil/landscaping to improve site appearance.
Councilmember Nathan asked whether the excavation overrun was an oversight or the result of on-site discoveries. Kelly said the plan dimensions were correct but a calculation error in length×width×depth caused the need for additional excavation; tree removal and the extra inlet also added costs.
A councilmember moved to approve the change order and authorize the mayor to sign; the motion was seconded and carried.
The change order amount is $32,426.13 and represents the final closeout charge for the project as presented to the council.
