Park Update

At our meeting last night, we received an important update from our designer and the most likely contractor. They have been able to identify approximately $3.5 million in savings that are available for the value engineering. Value engineering, for those of you who are unfamiliar with this term, means finding the things that can be adjusted in an effort to save money. Basically, cutting the fat. This project was not too fat, so the process has been a difficult one. But we are certainly headed the right direction. The City Council was impressed by the effort of the architect and contractor. They have decided that it might be a good idea to go ahead with final contract negotiation and final budget items. We have a very strong idea where we are headed with all of this, and it's very exciting. Things are moving nicely! Stay tuned for more!
