Board approves park contract reconciliation, fence lease and timber sale; advertises Hidden Creek pickleball bid
Summary
The Board approved Change Order No. 3 for the Paul Walters Memorial Park reconciling quantities and decreasing the contract by $240,284.79, assumed a $5,081/month fence lease for construction, sold two piles of cut timber to the highest bidder, and authorized advertisement of the Hidden Creek Pickleball Court bid pending engineer review.
Park and recreation business featured several actions at the May 28 meeting. Change Order No. 3 for the Paul Walters Memorial Park reconciled installed quantities and reduced the contract by $240,284.79; the Board considered the change order contingent on final engineering review. Parks & Recreation/Public Works Manager Tyler Fairchild outlined fencing options for ongoing construction and argued that leasing the fence from Long Fence Company provides insurance against damage and would produce short‑term savings. The Board approved assuming the current monthly lease at $5,081.00 per month.
The Board also approved sale of cut timber from the Woods Drive tree removal project: piles #2 and #3 sold to David Lenker for $50 each, with Supervisor Lenker abstaining from the vote; piles #1 and #4 received no bids and will be re‑advertised. Additionally, the Board authorized advertisement of the Hidden Creek Pickleball Court bid package, contingent on final Township Engineer review.
Why it matters: The change order alters the contract value and may affect project timelines and final payments; the fence lease decision covers short‑term construction needs and budgeted lease costs; timber sale and bid advertisement are part of project execution and asset disposal.
