PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS: The scope of work consisted of the following:
• Agnes Moffitt Park – replaced the pump and filter plan.
• Burnett Bayland Park – demolished an underground splashpad mechanical vault and replaced it with an above-ground steel vault; replaced spray nozzles and splashpad surfacing.
• Clinton Park – replaced the pump and filter plan and raised the pool mechanical pit.

CONTRACT COMPLETION AND COST: The contractor completed the project within 314 days: the original contract time of 120 days plus 194 days approved by Change Orders. The final cost of the project including Change Orders is $487,084.00, an increase of $21,084.00 over the original contract amount.
PREVIOUS CHANGE ORDERS: Change Order Nos. 1-3 provided credit for the cost of a splashpad coating at Burnett Bayland Park; removed and replaced surge tank fittings at Agnes Moffitt pool; repaired an existing water leak under the splashpad at Burnett Bayland Park; and added non-compensable days to the contract because construction was delayed until after the pool season ended in September. Additional delays in construction also occurred due to Hurricane Harvey, which impacted the contractor, subcontractors and suppliers.
M/W/SBE PARTICIPATION: This contract is exempt from the M/WBE subcontracting provisions because the value of the contract did not exceed the threshold of $1 million required for a goal oriented contract as provided in §15-82 of the Houston Code of Ordinances.
