Subject: Comment for 1/26/26 Item 8C, Bainbridge Park Change Order Request City Council,
I reviewed all the agenda materials and found the information to be lacking requisite specificity in order to understand what is being proposed. Most lines in Attachment 3 with the cost data are fine, except the most relevant one, which includes the following narrative description of the change order "Includes Contract Change Orders 1-5 (field refinements, accessibility, soccer court and pavilion improvements, restroom upgrades)". What is the breakdown of all this because, although it makes sense for us to pay more money for additional materials like rebar, it doesn't necessarily make any sense to pay ABS Builders for the labor necessary to fix their prior work that didn;t meet code requirements. What are the actual cost components in this bucket that are relevant to whether or not the recommended action approving a change order is prudent or justified? I suggest you ask for this information and a more- detailed explanation prior to making any decision. If such information is not forthcoming, you should continue the item to our next meeting when that information can be provided (even if just in a memo included as part of a consent calendar item).
Regards,
--Jacob
