DeSoto County approves change order and trailhead buildings for Johnson Creek Greenway
Summary
The Board approved a $13,164.65 change order to Johnson Creek Greenway Phase 2, authorized pavilion construction with Murphy & Sons for $69,378 and a Tomco labor contract for restroom construction for $31,250; the county will supply restroom materials.
DeSoto County supervisors approved multiple updates to the Johnson Creek Greenway on May 18, including a change order for Phase 2 and contracts for trailhead facilities.
Supervisor Ray Denison moved to accept a change order that adds 15 days to the Johnson Creek Greenway Phase 2 schedule and increases contract cost by $13,164.65 to allow ordering and setting additional piers; the motion passed by recorded vote.
Road Manager Robert Jarman presented three quotes for a pavilion at the Johnson Creek trailhead and recommended Murphy and Sons, Inc. at $69,378 to provide building and construction. For the restroom facility the board approved Tomco for labor only at $31,250 with the county providing materials. The motion approving both contracts passed by recorded vote.
Why it matters: The change order addresses a construction sequencing need that adds both time and cost; the pavilion and restroom contracts fund amenities intended to improve user experience on the trail.
Board direction and timing: The board authorized the Board President to sign the change order and contracts. The minutes do not contain a construction schedule beyond the added 15 days noted in the change order.
