Gappa Title Director of Public Services Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: Public Services Director ’s Report0 Item Description: Change Order #1, Lee Carlson Baseball Field Trail Project This change order is to raise the elevation of 60 lineal feet of the stone retaining wall along the north side of the ball fields 4’ to allow for the trail construction. The stone retaining wall was constructed as part the recent ball fields expansion project that was completed by the Orono Baseball Association. Wlien the new ball field was constructed, provisions to allow for a future trail between the access road and the retaining wall were made. However, during the ball field construction the retaining wall had to be moved closer to the access road to avoid a large power pole, moving this wall in resulted in inadequate space for construction of the trail. Tliis change order to raise the wall elevation will allow for trail construction with adequate side slopes. We have reviewed the information submitted by the City ’s engineering firm and recommend approval of this change order in the amount of $5,500 to raise the elevation of 60 lineal feet of the stone retaining wall along the north side of the ball fields 4’ to allow for the trail construction. The costs for this trail project are being reimbursed to the City from Municipal State Aid funds and Hennepin County trail construction cost sharing dollars.
