City approves park project change order

A $92,000 change order approved by Boerne City Council Tuesday for the River Road Park bank stabilization project had nothing to do with heavy weekend rains that filled Cibolo Creek and left construction equipment submerged.

Heavy rain that fell in a short period of time on Feb. 10 resulted in rapidly rising water levels in Cibolo Creek, which has been drained since September to allow for the bank restabilization project, a $2.3 million undertaking.

Photos and videos on social media showed construction equipment owned or leased by Agave Design Studio, the project contractor, nearly submerged in the rapidly flowing creek.
