Explanation
Background:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to reestablish a purchase order that was cancelled in error with ProCon Professional Construction Services, Inc. for the completed John Burroughs Park Improvements Project. The total amount of $96,097.02 is being authorized by this ordinance.

The error was not realized until the vendor recently submitted the final two invoices, in March of 2024. The vendor communicated that the final invoices were missed due to changes in staffing as the vendor’s project manager left their business before the project was completed.
