Design fee goes up $107K as Milton reassesses trails
Seeking to hold additional community engagement meetings and reassess the alignments of three proposed trails, the Milton City Council has approved a change order increasing a consultant’s design fee by $107,000.
Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. will be paid $460,000, up from the $353,000 of the original contract dated May 2018, and have its deadline for completing the work extended to Dec. 31.
The change, Kimley-Horn said in a letter to the city, provides “enhanced public engagement and trail planning services to refine and refocus the three ‘Golden Opportunity’ trails identified in the Milton Trails Blueprint, adopted in November 2017, and consider properties acquired by the Greenspace Bond Fund as potential trail connections.”
The three trails are the Crabapple Loop, originally to have 2 miles; Deerfield Connectors, originally 3.8 miles; and Central Milton Trail, originally 5.9 miles.
