Pella staff reports progress on recreation center; remaining change‑order authorization $93,660
Summary
City staff told the council that administrative change orders for the new indoor recreation/aquatic center are largely complete, with approximately 350 of 400 shop drawings reviewed; a committee approved Change Order No. 11 for under $20,000 and remaining change‑order authorization stands at $93,660. Staff estimated technical completion in May 2027 and operations beginning in July 2027.
City staff updated the Pella City Council on change orders and schedule for the new indoor recreation and aquatic center.
Staff said a committee chaired by Council member John Butler approved administrative Change Order No. 11, addressing footing, excavation and soil items; the amount was described as just under $20,000. The committee provided a list of previously approved change orders and staff reported a remaining change‑order authorization of $93,660. About 350 of 400 shop drawings have been reviewed by engineering, which staff characterized as a sign that most administrative change orders are behind the project.
Contractors are reported to be making progress. Staff gave a technical completion target of May 2027 and an estimated start of operations in July 2027, subject to usual construction contingencies.
What happens next: the project will continue under the current contract and staff will manage remaining change orders under the current authorization; the council will receive further updates as needed.
