Weaver trailhead near completion; grant budget nearly exhausted after change orders
Summary
District staff said the Weaver trailhead project is nearly complete with a mid‑week punch walk planned; seven invoices total just over $600,000, $360,000 remains on the contract (including retainage), change orders to date total about $25,000 plus two later items of $2,800 and $9,500, leaving roughly $1,700 in contingency for the grant budget.
Project staff reported the Weaver trailhead is close to handover, with a punch walk scheduled for mid‑next week and landscaping and final grading remaining. Work includes a themed bike rack and a repair station; staff showed images of restroom finishes and the solar/electrical connection that delayed the final concrete pour until utilities were completed.
On finances, staff said seven invoices totaling just over $600,000 have been submitted and about $360,000 remains on the contract, including retainage. Change orders one through four were described as totaling roughly $25,000 (BEP adjustment, a light pole addition, drinking fountain change and foundation adjustments); two additional later change orders were reported for $2,800 (door closers and masonry adjustment) and $9,500 (electrical connection adjustments by the electrician). Staff said the grant‑assigned budget has roughly $1,700 in remaining contingency.
Why it matters: the project nearing completion is a milestone for the district's trail network; the small remaining contingency highlights tight margins on the grant and the risk that further changes will need additional local funding.
Staff said remaining tasks include final landscaping, a few concrete pours now that the electrical connection is complete, and resolution of some utility coordination where the path meets adjacent drives and school property. The district plans to present final recommendations for awards on related Perkins Road parking and accessible trail work at the July meeting.
