The mature trees were trimmed to <br />open up the park and new turf was installed, because the old turf did not survive the <br />construction activities. <br /> <br />A "soft opening" was held on October 21, 2006, prior to the installation of the new <br />restroom, which is a long lead time item. More than 150 community members attended <br />the event to receive the park into their neighborhood. This community involvement <br />started early in the design stage, and will continue with the participation of the <br />community, to install art work in the park over the coming years. <br /> <br />The project was awarded for the base bid of $500,000. Four Change Orders, totaling <br />$58,635 (11.7%), were issued to account for various unforeseen conditions, quantity <br />adjustments of materials, and design adjustments needed to complete the project. <br /> <br />Each change was scrutinized to ensure the quality of the project, and staff tried very <br />hard to keep the project within the contract amount; however, the amount of changes <br />still exceeded staffs threshold of 10%. The final value of the contract is $558,635.00. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />Do not accept the project, which would be contrary to previous Council action. <br /> <br />Page 1 of2 <br />
