Commission approves flood wall change order with decorative arch, revises completion to July 11, 2025
Summary
The commission approved change order #4 for the Main Street flood wall, including a decorative arch; staff presented prior change orders, revised completion date of 07/11/2025, and described net contract deducts and fabrication plans. Some transcript numbers are inconsistent and noted as such in this report.
The Redevelopment Commission approved change order number 4 for the Main Street flood wall project, which includes design and installation of a decorative arch to be attached to the wall and labeled "Clarksville".
Staff said the flood wall reconstruction and the new gate were originally awarded to Mac Construction on Oct. 25, 2022, at a cost of $4,497,000. Prior change orders altered cost and schedule: change order 1 added $1,287,460 and 84 days; change order 2 added additional time; change order 3 was recorded as a no-cost schedule extension to accommodate a long-lead gate delivery. For change order 4 staff described a decorative arch and a net contract deduct; the transcript lists numbers in multiple overlapping ways (for example, the arch was variously described as "around 100,000" and as "114,030" in the packet), and the recorded net contract deduct amounts are transcribed inconsistently. Staff stated the revised contract completion date will be 07/11/2025.
Commissioners discussed aesthetics and fitting the arch with lighting; the commission approved the change order by unanimous voice vote. Because the transcript contains inconsistent numeric transcriptions for the arch and deducts (likely transcription errors), this article reports the project award and the revised completion date as clearly stated and flags the inconsistent cost figures for follow-up with staff or contract documents.
