What happened
State-mandated change orders for a Greenwood Connections assisted living addition resulted in significant costs. Two change orders, stemming from Minnesota Department of Labor and Industries and Minnesota Department of Health plan reviews, totaled $105,919. Councilor Durwin Tomperi questioned the costs, noting the project's contingency fund would drop from $325,000 to $226,000.
Why it matters
The required electrical and mechanical changes, mandated by state agencies, increased the project's financial burden. The costs were absorbed by the project's contingency fund, which was budgeted to absorb anticipated changes.
