Saving money
Seems like plenty of projects end up costing more than planned. Bucking the trend is Pineview Park. This snippet from Councilman Bob Jaffe’s listserv:
“In Conservation things were looking even better with a change order for Pineview park that actually saved $16,000. Patterson Enterprises has the contract. It was bid with a gazebo and porta-potty enclosure provided by the city. We were going to order them from somewhere. Patterson thought they could get them constructed locally for less. So we removed the items from the owner’s budget and moved it to the contractor’s budget for a net savings of $16,000. Saves money and puts local firms to work. A good deal all around.”
Good deal, good news.
