Council told extra construction‑management months are needed as public‑works building nears completion

City of Chester deliberative meeting · August 31, 2026

Summary

Staff said New Road Construction Management moved to full‑time on the Public Works building, the original $272,000 contract will be exhausted, and the city is requesting an additional $25,000 per month for three months to support finish work through October and close‑out.

Staff updated council on the Public Works building project and asked to extend construction management through October with an additional $25,000 per month. The presenter said New Road Construction Management began as part‑time during RFP negotiations but shifted to full‑time as the project progressed: “It's 25,000 dollars a month is what we're paying them for construction management services full time,” and staff requested the extra funds for August, September and October.

The presenter estimated the Public Works building remains on schedule for completion in mid to late November but noted close‑out activity may extend into early December. Council members and staff praised steady progress and agreed staff would manage cash‑flow impacts within the project's budget.
