The Augusta Avenue portion included  a four way stamped crosswalk at the intersection of Tulip Street and Augusta near Brock Elementary School, installing sidewalks on the south side of the Augusta Avenue from the park westward to Coventry Street and installing a stamped concrete crosswalk connecting the sidewalks on the north and south sides of Augusta Avenue at the park.

The amendment is required due to additional scope of services including removing an existing driveway and installing a new driveway near 1715 Augusta Avenue.  The cost includes removal of the existing driveway, sidewalk and curb and replaces it with a new driveway to the east. The existing driveway was replaced with sidewalk and closed off with a new curb.
