Explanation

Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify the existing contract with CK Construction Group for the Kilbourne Run Sports Park Improvements Project. The modification amount is $215,000.00 with a contingency of $25,000.00.

This modification will cover costs for Phase 2 construction which includes a traffic roundabout, park frontage, and signage.

This modification will include the addition of an 8-foot fence around the full-size grass fields 7, 8 and 9. There will also be a 4-foot fence around the full-size grass field 10.

The additional work will also include renovation to the Kilbourne Run Gateway sign that was damaged by an errant vehicle. The original project completion date of the project was January 30, 2026. The modified project completion date, as a result of the proposed modification, will be September 1, 2026.

Amount of Additional Funds: $242,500.00
