SANDPOINT — On Wednesday evening, the Sandpoint City Council voted 4-1 to approve a change order that will add $106,000 to the Travers Park playground and splash pad project. The supplement will cover the cost of “additional alternative items” not originally included in the contract awarded to Ginno Construction of Idaho in a June 5 vote.
The primary new item for the project is a pump system that will enable water from the splash pad to be reused for landscape irrigation. Community Planning and Development Director Jason Welker described the system as “a great idea” and estimated the initial $70,000 investment will pay for itself in a few years.
“We'll be irrigating the landscaping using one round of water instead of paying for water twice,” Welker said in the July 3 meeting. He added that Mayor Jeremy Grimm had requested the system.
