Title

APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 IN THE AMOUNT OF $46,043.37 FOR THE WEST CENTRAL AVENUE SERVICE ROAD NORTH OF 85TH AVENUE, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 13-26

 

Background

On July 9, 2015, a contract was awarded to Douglas-Kerr Underground, LLC in the amount of $208,280.80 for the realignment of the West Central Avenue Service Road from 85th Avenue to approximately 600 feet north.

 

During construction, large masses of buried concrete and areas of unsuitable soil were discovered in the road alignment which required removal and replacement.  The soil borings done during the design stage did not encounter this concrete or unsuitable soil and as a result, the additional work to remove these items was not a part of the original bid.

 

Change Order No. 1 is separate from the 10% contingency of $20,828.20 that City Council approved when awarding the contract.

 

Recommendation

By motion, approve Change Order No. 1 to the contract for Improvement Project No 13-26 in the amount of $46,043.37, amending the total contract amount to $254,324.17 and authorizing the Public Services Manager to sign said Change Order No. 1.
