Tenafly council hears questions on bandstand project: staff says changes fit $900,000 appropriation
Summary
Councilmembers pressed staff for details after change orders and engineering steps added roughly $36,000 for local structural engineering and about $65,000 for contract administration; staff said the work remains within the $900,000 capital appropriation and further AV/LED pricing is pending.
During the administrator's report, councilmembers sought clarification about recent change orders tied to the bandstand/amphitheater project. A councilmember said the agenda referenced adding about $65,000 and that the project had a $900,000 appropriation; the administrator and project staff explained the $36,000 increase was for local structural engineering and the roughly $65,000 figure covered contract administration, and they said all costs are being managed within the $900,000 capital appropriation.
Staff said remaining appropriation is expected to cover additional amenities such as an LED wall and audiovisual systems pending final pricing. Councilmembers asked for clearer budgeting language in future materials to avoid the appearance of added costs outside the appropriation.
