The demolition of the school and site clearing left this parcel devoid of any topsoil and therefore topsoil must be imported to the site in order to grow a good stand of grass. There is also an existing concrete retaining wall on the east property edge that is falling into the neighbor's garage and driveway. It is a hazardous situation and has to be rectified. This wall must be removed and replaced with a segmental retaining wall. Almost directly on top of the wall is a 10' tall chain link fence that is damaged, falling over and also must be removed. The original contract includes a new short fence to be erected in its place. A number of undesirable trees have grown up through the fence and the retaining wall and must be removed as a result. Finally, a fence enclosure is desired for the new skate park for public safety reasons. After recently re- searching how other park districts/departments secure skate parks, it became evident that such a fence was necessary for this location. Neighbors have voiced their support for this fence. The Kenneth Com- pany will he responsible to complete all of these items. REASONS FOR CHANGE: The work outlined above was omitted from the bid documents however the work is essential for the success of the project. The change order is in the best in- terests of the City of Elgin and authorized by law.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve Change Order No. 1 with the Kenneth Company for Grant School Park Improvements in the amount of$61,103.50. BACKGROUND On November 14, 2007, the City Council awarded a contract to the Kenneth Company in the amount of$264,703 for improvements to Grant School Park. Work on the park has progressed well with the project about 90% complete. A ribbon cutting and park dedication event are tentatively planned for July 26 for this park. The demolition of the school and site clearing left this parcel devoid of any topsoil and therefore topsoil had to be imported to the site in order to grow a good stand of grass. There was an existing concrete retaining wall on the east property edge that was falling into the neighbor's garage and driveway. It was a hazardous situation that had to be rectified. This wall was removed and replaced with a segmental retaining wall. Almost directly on top of the wall was a damaged 10 foot tall chain link fence that needed to be removed and replaced. A number of undesirable trees had grown up through the existing fence and retaining wall and they also had to be removed. Finally, it was decided a fence enclosure was needed for the new skate park for public safety reasons.
