On September 20, 2023, the City requested Brightview to update the original scope (Change Order No. 1) to include earthwork/grading and fill needed to prepare the landscaping site following the completion of the seawall portion of the project. The additional scope requested was priced at $264,962.50, and deducted from the contract's owner's contingency, leaving a remaining balance of $10,701.43.
On November 7, 2023, the City requested Brightview a revision of the landscape plans (Change Order No. 2), to include additional vegetation, priced at $9,458.45, deducted from the owner's contingency funds, leaving a remaining balance of $1,242.98. Public Works then proceeded to update its plans from proposed to signed and sealed drawings.
On December 4, 2023, the City requested Brightview to add an additional scope of work (Change Order No. 3), to include the pouring of Miami Beach Red concrete color for the northern section of Indian Creek, from 39th Street to 41st Street in lieu of standard grey concrete, priced at $12,433.75.
Public Works has reviewed the cost proposal and determines it to be fair and reasonable.
