10. Information Only/Downey Change Order
Mike Mactutis, Environmental Engineering Manager noted that the Downey
Farmstead Restoration project is currently under construction with clearing of
the site and excavation of material.
Mactutis noted that before we knew that we'd get a grant in the amount of
$780,000 from King County we bid the project which was awarded to
Scarsella Brothers, Inc. Assuming the agreement is executed this month,
staff is recommending a change order to the existing contract that would
allow them to move more material from the Downey site; advancing the
project further toward completion without having to mobilize again later.
