Background/Discussion
The City Council approved a contract with Meco-Henne Contracting in the amount of $373,000.00 for the upgrade of the pavilion water feature. A change order in the amount of $38,163.00 has been submitted for work completed and necessary to ensure the water feature works properly. The work involved testing and calibrating a new computer panel and installing a new suction pump to ensure the water feature drains appropriately. The change order amount exceeds the approval threshold for a Director and needs to be approved by the Council.
The work was completed and the contractor neglected to submit the change order and realized this as the project close out process occurred.
The water feature is in working order and the State has accepted the work performed. We are scheduling an inspection by the local county health inspector and anticipate the water feature to be operational by May 31,2025.
