ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and the Director of Public Works with a Request to APPROVE Change Order #1 to the Construction CONTRACT with C&G CONCRETE for the 100 NE ADAMS STREET Sidewalk Upgrades, in the Not-to-Exceed Amount of $35,000.00, as Part of the Combined Sidewalk In Need of Repair & Harrison Impact Zone 2016 Projects (12.75% of Original Authorization Amount of $274,582.55), for a Total Amended Authorization of $309,582.55.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The amount for this Change Order #1 will be paid by encumbering $15,000.00 from 2016 Sidewalk In Need of Repair Program, #PB1606, and reprogramming $20,000.00 from Sidewalk Participation...
