SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
Change order to downtown phase one project
BACKGROUND AND STAFF REPORT:
As part of the Laverne Street/sewer/storm water project phase one a trail was added between the street
and the ballfield. Due to this addition of a trail, the elevation of the ground next to the bleachers and the
trail is no longer gradual ( see pictures below). A retaining wall needs to be put in before the trail can be
paved. If not for the retaining wall, the pavement would be compromised after the first hard rain. The
construction contractor is hoping to pave the street and the trail within the next 10 days. The overall cost
should be roughly $11,000 to $13,000 based on what you include. Due to height and safety
considerations, a railing/fence of some sort will need to be added in the spring so people don’t step off the
wall.
This is an email to SEH detailing some of the cost for the wall.

ready at any time. Thanks!

12” drain rock, installation & backfill with onsite materials. Square Footage pay price to
include the base (buried) block.
Concrete Slab Removal: $5.65/SY – (Same unit price as in the proposal for Remove
Concrete Driveway Pavement)
Remove Player’s Bench: $400.00 (Reinstall & Slab by others)
