It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of Change Order No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No. 49323 with Woody Contractors, Inc., in the amount of $499,953.70, with no increase to the existing project budget for the construction of Greenfield Acres Water, Sewer and Drainage Improvements, thereby increasing the total contract amount to $4,742,464.20.

The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize an increase to the construction contract with Woody Contractors, Inc., for the construction of Greenfield Acres Water, Sewer and Drainage Improvements; it is part of a larger master drainage plan for the neighborhood, to be constructed in phases.  The current phase includes a detention basin that will be expanded and completed in future phases.  Because of favorable bids, funds are sufficient to add additional excavation with this proposed change order, which reduces costs for future, unfunded phases and provides additional flood protection to a number of properties in the area.
