1849 Park phase 2 nears completion
Work on 1849 Park in Pfluger- ville continues as City Council approved a $353,000 budget modification for phase 2 of the expansion project in September. The overview With the change order, the contract with G. Hyatt Con- struction for phase 2 of the park increased to around $9.5 million, a 3.8% increase from the
original contract, according to city documents. The increased cost is due to a requirement by Oncor to run an additional 2,353 feet of electrical wiring. The new conduit will create a looped electrical circuit for the park and decrease the chance of power outages. Phase 2 of 1849 Park is expected to be substantially complete by mid-December, and fully com- plete by mid-January.
