This contract amount did not include the <br />designed playing surface lighting system. The overall project budget of $1,848,000 did <br />contemplate purchase and installation of this lighting system, contingent on beginning <br />construction and determining if sub-surface conditions (and the potential remediation of these <br />conditions) warranted budgeted funds. These soils remediation contingencies did not <br />materialize and the funds are available for the field lighting component. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the field lighting .change order is $128,600. Funding is <br />available within the project budget to support the expense. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board authorize a change order <br />for lighting in the amount of $128,600; and authorize the Manager to execute this and future <br />change orders, as may be needed, to the extent of the capital project ordinance. <br />
