Title
Increase Spending for Downey and Scott, Project Management For The Police Station
Body
EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY:
On Jan. 7, 2019, the Vienna Town Council approved a contract with Downey and Scott for project management for the planned Police Station construction. The contract covered the design and construction phases, including leading the process to select the construction company. In no small part due to the excellent work by Downey and Scott the project is essential on time and under budget.
Due to slight increases in the length of the project, Downey and Scott is now over its initial budget of $375,000. The company had previous change orders due to the time taken to finalize the construction contract and now have requested an additional $48,817 to complete the project, bringing the total contract cost to $437,897.
Even with this increase, the project is expected to be completed at approximately $98,000 under budget.
