BACKGROUND:
On October 6, 2020, the City Council awarded Contract 20-342, Police Department Exterior ADA Upgrades, to Lite Construction Inc. The award was to remove the existing 24-foot concrete walkway from the driveway circle to the entrance doors and replace it with a 12-foot walkway with snow melt tubing.

Additional work included the removal of the existing sidewalk and brick pavers to be replaced with an 8-foot sidewalk at a corrected grade that meets ADA building code requirements.
The contract was awarded for $239,400 with a completion date of December 15, 2020. On February 20, 2021, change order #1 was approved to extend the project completion date 150 additional days.
DISCUSSION:
