SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute an Amendment to the Agreement with Contra Costa Electric for Fiber Optic Installation Services in an Amount of $76,827, Increasing the Total Contract to an Amount Not to Exceed $331,669
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute an amendment to the professional services agreement with Contra Costa Electric for fiber optic installation services in an amount of $76,827, increasing the total contract to an amount not to exceed $331,669.
SUMMARY
Resolution No. 20-170 was passed by Hayward City Council on October 6, 2020 to authorize contracting with Contra Costa Electric (CCE) to pull new fiber optic cables from City Hall to Hesperian Boulevard. On this fiber pathway, unexpected water damaged conduit was found on the Winton Avenue traffic bridge near Soto Road, which has prevented pulling the new fiber through without damaging existing fiber. As a result, this project cannot continue without installing a new conduit pathway. CCE worked with the Public Works Department to find the most cost-effective solution, which includes saw cutting and removing 240 linear foot of the sidewalk curb, installing a new conduit pathway, and then re-pouring the removed section. The quote for the additional work is $76,827 and will increase the project total from the $254,842 previously authorized in Resolution No. 20-170 to the new proposed total of $331,669.
