The request before City Council is to review and consider for approval the attached deductive change order in the amount of ($57,034.92) and the final pay request in the amount not to exceed $92,005.70 submitted by Keystone Excavators, Inc. for the completion of the 2022 N. River Neighborhood Streetscape Improvements Project.

As Council may recall, a public meeting was held on October 12, 2021 in the City Council Chambers to gather input from residents prior to the design and construction phases of the project.  Subsequent to that meeting and several meetings between staff and City Council, proposed construction improvements along N. River Road were identified, designed, and constructed; these improvements included:

1.  Removal and replacement of the existing sidewalk on the east side of N. River Road.

2.  The milling and narrowing of the existing roadway.

3.  Roadway lane, stop bar, and pedestrian crossing striping.

4.  Decorative street lighting.

5.  Landscape and hardscape.

6.  The removal and replacement of existing traffic signage.

7. The straightening of the intersection located at N. River Road and Veterans Drive.
