Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify an existing contract with Marker, Inc. dba Marker Construction to provide construction services associated with the Marion Franklin Pool Replacement Project. The modification amount is $9,268,376.00, with an additional $10,500.00 for interdepartmental inspections and fees, for a total of $9,278,876.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
