Challenger 7 Park - Boardwalk Renovation project includes work in three distinct areas. The existing boardwalk area will include removal of the existing boardwalk and replacement with a new structure. Learning components including an immersive classroom, outdoor classroom, and areas for future signage will be identified. The project also contains the addition of a trailhead with bike parking. The area near the boat ramp will be repurposed to include additional walking trails, seating area, floating kayak launch, and planting. The Changes in contract include:
- An additional removal of 1 tree is needed for line Item # 11 with an additional cost of $1,088.15, a reduction in quantity by 8 SY of 4.5" thick sidewalk for line item # 20 with a saving in cost of $254.00, the wrecking and reworking the forms for the sidewalk as Lump Sum (new line item # 68) with an additional cost of $2,377.97 and vegetation and regrading adjacent to the sidewalk as Lump Sum (new line Item # 69) with an additional cost of $8,790.64 with zero calendar days. This is due to the sidewalk to the Kayak Launching Site being at a lower elevation than the surrounding grade and the changes ensure that the sidewalks achieve ADA compliance.
