Council approves change order, bid solicitation for Travers Park
SANDPOINT — The City Council has approved the solicitation of bids for construction of an inclusive playground and splash pad at Travers Park.
During Wednesday’s meeting, Jason Welker, community planning and development director, shared some of the equipment recently purchased for the park. Since the solicitation was unanimously approved, a pre-bid meeting was expected to take place Friday. The city plans to have a contractor signed on to the project in May and break ground in June, Welker said.
The council also approved a change order and amendment to an agreement with Ginno Construction for construction of the James E. Russell Sports Center at Travers Park. Unforeseen contract changes brought about a new guaranteed maximum price, leading the city to request approval of a budget change. These changes include enlargement of a garage door to accommodate future maintenance equipment, and addition of asphalt paving on an existing pathway to comply with ADA accessibility requirements, among other changes. One change, a switch from glazed to solid windows for select areas, resulted in a nearly $7,000 credit to the project, Welker said
