Board approves sidewalk and paving change orders for Forest Edge redevelopment

Charlestown Board of Public Works · May 7, 2026

Summary

The Board of Public Works authorized two change orders tied to a Community Crossings matching grant — a $39,961 sidewalk on Harrison Street and a $17,857 paving segment on High Street to address stormwater — pending funding approval from the redevelopment commission.

The Charlestown Board of Public Works on May 7 approved two change orders tied to the Community Crossings matching grant to support the Forest Edge redevelopment project.

Sally of HC Engineering described the proposals: a $39,961 change order to construct a five-foot-wide, ADA-compliant sidewalk with curb ramps on the north side of Harrison Street (Main Street to Green Alley) and a $17,857 change order to pave a stretch of High Street to help control stormwater runoff. "This change order is for $39,961," Sally said, and staff confirmed the sidewalk will be built to ADA and NDOT standards.

Staff told the board the costs will be paid by the redevelopment commission and would not increase the city's appropriation; the board moved and approved both change orders pending the commission's payment. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote.

The board asked staff to coordinate with the redevelopment commission for payment and to oversee construction to meet ADA and NDOT specifications. No construction start date was provided at the meeting.
