Boca amended its contract with Burkhardt Construction Co., contractor for the Pedestrian Promenade project, at its Feb. 23 City Council meeting. The increase of $172,000 — to add infrastructure for parking meters pushes the top price of the project to $7.2 million.
While Burkhardt is installing the infrastructure for meters, it is not the vendor installing the meters.
The maximum project price already incorporates an estimated $72,000 it will cost the city to delay road closures on Palmetto Park Road until after May 10.
The city decided to delay the closures after merchants voiced concern that construction during the busy tourist season will hurt business.
