EUGENE <br /> Public Works <br /> City of Eugene <br /> 858 Pearl Street <br /> April 19, 2000 Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br /> (541) 682-5262 <br /> (541) 682 -6826 Fax <br /> To: Bill Hirsh <br /> From: Christine Ai' ersen -- <br /> cc: Jim Johnson <br /> George Russell <br /> Subject: Youth Sports Parks <br /> Rest Room Revisions <br /> Please proceed with the proposed rest room modifications as soon as possible. I understand <br /> that the complete change is estimated at about $80,000 <br /> As discussed in the Policy Committee meeting, the expanded rest rooms (from single stall to <br /> double stall) are a priority from several aspects —safety being primary. It is our understanding, <br /> and I believe the intent of the Policy Committee, that although this is technically considered a <br /> change order, it is a necessary component to make the project whole and it falls well within . <br /> the initial scope of the project set at the time the partnership was established. <br /> The Policy Committee further agreed to the concept that the contingency fund is a project <br /> resource, to be used to make the project whole, although money left over upon project <br /> completion would be divided based on the portion allocated for park or field change orders. <br /> I understand your reluctance to proceed with a significant change order so early in the <br /> construction phase. However, considering the fast -track aspect of the project to -date, some <br /> changes must be anticipated. The construction of safe, adequate, and easy -to- maintain <br /> restrooms will be an overall project benefit that will be realized by all users. Delay of this <br /> decision until later in the process will jeopardize not only the ability to complete this change, <br /> but will have a greater impact on the budget. <br />
