End
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That Council adopts the attached resolutions (Attachments I and II):
1. Amending the construction contract with Graham Contractors, Inc., by increasing the Administrative Change Order amount from $102,000 to $156,784 for the Pavement Rehabilitation Gas Tax FY15 project; and
2. Appropriating an additional $17,421 for this project from the Gas Tax Fund.
Body
BACKGROUND
On June 17, 2014, Council awarded the contract for the Pavement Rehabilitation Gas Tax FY15 project to Graham Contractors, Inc., and increased the Administrative Change Order amount from $40,000 to $102,000. The request for additional funds was to slurry seal additional streets that otherwise would not be included due to limited funds.
DISCUSSION
The previous Council-approved increase in the Administrative Change Order amount for additional slurry seal covered Harder Road, West A Street, and Golf Course Road. Additionally, staff included slurry seal of portions of the Police Administration Building parking lots. At that time, staff assumed the available balance from the low bid would allow for the additional streets to be completed. However, work quantities, specifically, localized pavement repairs and damaged detector loop replacement, exceeded the assumed quantities. As a result, the final construction cost exceeded the contract amount by $54,784.
As referenced in Attachment I, staff recommends Council approve the resolution increasing the Administrative Change Order amount by $54,784, for a contract total not-to-exceed amount of $873,396.
