The MAPS Citizens Advisory Board on June 4 approved a package of contracts, change orders and amendments covering park improvements, facility construction and program support.
Key approvals included:
- Awarding the construction contract for the Clara Looper Civil Rights Center to Crossland Construction Company for $10,221,450 and approving associated contract documents and bonds. Staff said the project was delivered under budget and that alternates could be awarded.
- Approving Change Order No. 5 with Crossland for the Animal Welfare Center for an increase of $72,158 to address a contractor/architect cost share, wall‑height corrections, a medical gas vapor removal system and a storage wall detail.
- Approving Change Order No. 3 with Shiloh Enterprises for South Lake Park improvements for $34,912.63 to relocate unforeseen underground utilities, irrigation repairs and OG&E relocation costs.
- Approving Change Order No. 2 with Downey Contracting LLC for CB Cameron Park improvements for $240,844.60 largely to replace an aged 6‑inch water line that leaked after grading, plus operator‑requested fixture and access changes.
- Approving Change Order No. 23 with Flint Co. for Fairgrounds Coliseum for $197,673, primarily for roof tie‑in and show‑office finish work.
The board also approved an amendment (No. 5) to the Gooden Group professional services agreement for MAPS public relations, increasing the contract by $275,800 through June 30, 2027, and approved a construction management at risk contract with Lingo Construction for preconstruction services on the MAPS 3 Union Station renovation (fee shown on agenda around $96,380 for preconstruction services).
Most items were approved by motion; the transcript records that motions passed but does not provide individual movers, seconders or roll‑call vote tallies.
What happens next: staff will execute contract documents, issue notices to proceed where applicable, incorporate change‑order work into active construction schedules and return with any items requiring additional board approval.
