This work includes the reconstruction of streets, curbs and sidewalks, as well as utility improvements to include storm sewer, water mains, street lighting and underground electric service, and all incidental and collateral work necessary to complete the project as shown on the final construction plans.

These items included additional non-special waste disposal, additional planter seat walls, and the removal of two underground storage tanks. This change order also accounted for increases and decreases for several pay items based on measured quantities in the field. Time and material costs to resolve other unexpected circumstances of a smaller scope were also included in the change order.
On September 3, 2024, the City Manager approved Change Order #2 to add $168,337.52 and 18 days to the contract.
