NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ELGIN, ILLINOIS, that Leo Nelson, City Manager, be and is hereby author- ized and directed to execute Change Order Number 2, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference. Richard L. Verbic, Mayor Presented: September 26, 1983 Adopted: Vote: Yeas Nays Recorded: Attest: Marie Yearman, City Clerk ELGIN, ILLINOIS SPRING, DUPAGE & FULTON STREETSCAPING CHANGE ORDER NO.2 SCOPE. This change order No.2 covers additions and modifications to the above contract as follows: Item 1. The contractor will be directed to plant 72 Cottoneaster Acutifolia or Cottoneaster Horizontalis and cover the ground with 3 inch Wood Chip Mulch on the south side of ECC Building adjacent to Fulton Street. Item 2. The contractor will be instructed to install 60 square yards of sod in the area east of the Commonwealth Edison Company transformer on the north side of Fulton Street Adjacent to C. & N.W. tracks, using 10-6-4 Commercial fertilizer. Item 3. The contractor will be directed to cover the inside of islands in the ECC parking lot with a minimum of 4 inch thickness of uniformly graded washed gravel , Gradation CA-5. Polyurethane vinyl material shall be used under the gravel . REASON FOR CHANGE Item 1 . The original contract did not call for any type of ground cover except top soil and seeding which would be incidental items. During the construction of the project in discussion with the Director of Recreation and Public Property, it was determined that the overall appearance of the area would be enhanced considerably with plants and wood chip mulch. The wood chips will eliminate continuous mowing of a very narrow strip. Item 2. Grass seed was planned for the area east of the Common- wealth Edison Company Transformer on the north side of Fulton Street near C.&N.W. tracks. The slope turned out somewhat steeper than expected. Due to the slope the grass seed is likely to get washed away. Sodding would be a far better solution. Item 3. During the plan preparation, the ground cover of the islands in the ECC parking lot was discussed with Mr. Erick Larsen, Building Administrator of Fountain Square Campus since ground cover was being installed by ECC adjacent to the building. After the parking lot was completed we were advised that ECC did not have any trucks to haul top soil . Also, the proposed treatment with will eliminate mowing.
