The request of staff for the City Council is to review and consider for approval the attached deductive change order in the amount of ($5,860.00) and final pay request in the amount of $145,712.00 from Hennessy Construction Services for the installation of two (2) additional shade structures in Sims Park. 

In June 2015 Hennessy Construction Services and the City of New Port Richey entered into a purchasing and agency agreement for construction services as part of Sims Park Improvements Project Phase 1.  During the design of the Sims Park Improvements Phase II project, two additional shade structures were proposed to be installed north of the two existing shade structures installed as part of the phase 1 project.  As City Council may recall, the proposed shade structures were spec'd out as the same custom structures installed in phase 1 for uniformity purposes. In addition, the purchase price negotiated for the two (2) proposed shade structures is the same as the structures purchased in phase 1.
