City Council amends contract for Jaycee Park
Cape Coral City Council amended the city’s contract with Pennoni Associates, Inc. for construction administration services for Jaycee Park on Wednesday.
Councilmember Bill Steinke, who pulled the consent agenda item for discussion, said it is not additional money, but an allocation of money that was already earmarked in the budget. He said it’s for additional responsibilities that they are placing on Pennoni Associates Inc. and dollars allocated to produce that task.
Design and Construction Manager Bill Corbett said the amendment to the design contract for Jaycee Park is to incorporate construction and administration services and construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services. He said it is always done separate from the design contract.
Corbett said to have that the level of oversight by the Engineer of Record is ideal. They can address problems in the field, and they have background on the project.
“This firm will be on board with the construction duration,” he said. “The initial contract was up to the biding; construction starts after that.”
The amendment is for $280,070, which brings the total project amount not to exceed $853,635.
On May 3, 2023, Resolution 93-23 authorized the final design services for the Jaycee Park project to Pennoni Associates, Inc with a contract amount of $573,565.
