Council approves $24,000 amendment to engineering contract after underground power line found
Summary
Fort Myers council approved a $24,000 amendment (raising a contract from $30,000 to $54,000) for additional structural engineering work on replacement dugout and bleacher shade structures in Ward 5 after discovery of a major power line requiring redesign.
Council approved amendment number 1 to RFQ0039-23 with Heightspans Engineering Inc., increasing the contract by $24,000 (from $30,000 to $54,000) for additional design and post-design services related to dugout and bleacher shade-structure replacements in Ward 5.
Pete Benick, director of public works, said engineers discovered a major power line running beneath some dugouts that required redesign work not anticipated in the original contract. "What we're asking for is the additional amendment to do that design work. That way we can keep this project on track and moving forward," Benick said. The council moved and carried the item with no recorded opposition.
