Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify the contract with The Righter Company, Inc. to clean up the existing pond at the Deaf School Park and Topiary Garden through the removal of built up silt, debris, and invasive plants.

The costs for this modification will be $27,136.44 with a contingency of $5,363.56 for a total of $32,500.00. This will increase the overall cost of the project from $107,300 to $139,800.
