Park Demolition Costs in Question

The Community Redevelopment Agency has received a request for cost over-runs on the City Park demolition contract to the tune of $4500. Tim Querio, of Tim's Bobcat Dirtwork, who did the pre-construction demolition of the existing structures in City Park, has asked for cost beyond the $12,000 contract. The job took 21 days and was prolonged because the foundation of the park restrooms was much deeper than he had been led to believe. Furthermore, the fence around the park made work more difficult. After brief remarks by one Commission member regarding the sanctity of the contract, the matter was tabled until the January 23 meeting.
