Change Order for Interior Road -Northwest Quadrant Council President Fixler asked Mr. Brett to confirm the amount. Mr. Brett said it will be $236,515.60. Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mrs. Cinco, made a motion to authorize an expenditure in the amount of $236,515.60 for a change order for the interior road in the Northwest Quadrant. Mr. Brett said Mike Burgess is here. Some members of Council have copies of the breakdown of the change-orders and some do not. He explained the additional expenditures included in the change- order: asbestos abatement on one of the Lambright properties (about $25,000), concrete (including 5" conduit for service to the Progressive site) about $78,000--that will be charged back to Progressive when we determine the assessment.) $58,650 for temporary pavement. The Finance Committee questioned the need for temporary pavement--why we need it and where it will be. Mr. Burgess said they discussed the development of the project at some of their progress meetings. Because they were not extending further south into the area where the wetlands and the environmental part might be at, it more or less dead-ended there. We were concerned as you came in off of SOM and there is a 4-way stop as you enter Progressive and we extended the road further south and it terminated there. We were concerned as to the ability for emergency vehicles to turn around there. We were, basically, going to have two lanes with a median and once you got down here you would have to turn around and back all the way up. By not putting in the median and pitting in temporary asphalt, you could then come in and make a turn; the Village considered using that for parking on a temporary basis. It provided a ]pt more options versus a road that terminated wig guardrail at the end with no where to turn around. The thought was to go ahead and add the asphalt so it becomes a bit more useful and the center rgadway would be extended through. Mr. Brett said that increasing the 2" caliber trees to 4" c0~iber trees on 115 of 169 trees would improve the li~~lihood that they would survive as we'vq found in areas such as Worton Park.
