Summary

Construction managers reported the Isablanca park improvements sit at roughly $11.8 million (≈1.1% over original bid) and that electrical work requiring AEP remains the primary schedule dependency; commissioners acknowledged the update.

GJ Engineering provided a project update on Isablanca park improvements, saying the original bid was about $11.6 million and that after previously approved change orders the total was approximately $11.8 million (about a 1.1% delta). The contractor has added crews and managers said they are working to expedite work where possible.

The construction manager described current workstreams: Morrill Construction is installing primary conduits and pedestals while AEP will perform wiring and transformer work; AEP approvals and transformer schedules are a critical path item. Sanitary sewer installation was reported at roughly 45% linear footage complete; water line and RV pad work were expected to begin in the next weeks. Project staff said they will push contractors to begin site restoration and RV pad work concurrently where feasible to meet mitigation plans and the October target date for major deliverables. The court acknowledged the presentation.
