Town Board approves multiple change orders and a completion extension for Newburgh Recreation Center
Summary
The board approved Change Orders 21–27 for the Newburgh Recreation Center—covering column enclosures, door hardware, window trim, hot water heater electrical work, fire pump electrical circuits—and a 21-day no-cost extension of substantial completion.
Patrick J. Hines, the town engineer’s representative, presented a series of change orders for the Newburgh Recreation Center during the Oct. 14 meeting. The board approved Change Order #21 (enclose north and south side columns) for $12,849.00; #22 (D-Ben door hardware changes) for $6,972.00; #23 (PEMB window trim) for $3,791.00; #24 (Corridor 127 columns) for $3,509.00; #25 (hot water heater power) for $6,107.00; and #26 (fire pump electrical work) for $11,074.00. The board also approved Change Order #27, a no-cost 21-calendar-day extension of the contract’s substantial completion date from Sept. 12, 2025 to Oct. 3, 2025.
Each motion passed unanimously, with council members recorded as voting yes. Hines described the work as involving additional framing, gypsum board, electrical circuit resizing and installations needed to complete building systems and accommodate the town’s security and mechanical requirements.
Why it matters: the approved change orders add roughly $44,302 in documented contract increases to the project (sums listed in the minutes) and provide a short schedule extension; the work affects final building finishes, mechanical systems and security components that must be completed before the center opens.
What’s next: contractors and the town’s engineer will coordinate to implement these changes; the minutes record that the board expects construction to proceed under the amended scope and timeline.
