Chester council approves multiple change orders for park and infrastructure projects
Summary
Council approved several change orders and contract adjustments, including increases for AKC Mechanical, SJ Thomas Company, MG Engineering Associates and James G. Davis Construction Co. totaling tens of thousands in net increases for ongoing projects.
At its Aug. 12 meeting, Chester City Council approved a slate of change orders and contract adjustments for ongoing city projects. The actions included a $6,792.06 change order for AKC Mechanical LLC (raising that contract to $559,067.06), change orders related to Sun Village Park Pavilion repairs (SJ Thomas Company Inc. and MG Engineering Associates), and a $40,179 increase for James G. Davis Construction Company raising that contract to $5,263,325.20.
Council discussed the Sun Village Park Pavilion repair work in more detail: staff reported that when workers began removing roofing materials they discovered additional damage requiring the larger change order.

Each change order was moved and adopted by council vote.
