CONTRACT AMENDMENTS & CONTINGENT AWARDS
City of Atlantic // Schildberg Recreation Area and Campground Development (17-CAT-012) Contract Amendment
Recipient is requesting the contract be extended through November 30, 2019. Seth Staashelm gave an overview of the project completed thus far and the timeline for the outstanding portion of project. On motion of Ms. Hein and second by Mr. Carter, the Board approved the request to extend the project completion date to November 30, 2019.
City of LeMars // Community Betterment Project II (17-CAT-007) Contract Amendment
Recipient is requesting a contract extension through September 30, 2020 and a change to the wellness center project. Local feedback shows the planned auxiliary gym that was proposed to be added to the existing wellness center would be eliminated from the plan. Instead, additional multipurpose space would be added to the first floor and youth room and cardio area would be added to the second floor. The board did ask for clarification on how this change would affect the scope of the original project (I.e., square footage, program offerings). This information will be provided in writing to staff for further review. On a motion by Ms. Hein and second by Mr. Carter, the Board approved the request to extend the contract completion date to January 31, 2021.
The Board recessed at 10:34 am.
The Board reconvened at 12:14 pm.
