BACKGROUND

The Engineering Department recommends approval of Change Order No. 1 for the increase in the construction contract with Jim Bowman Construction Company, L.P. in the amount of $77,874 for Intersection Improvements – Park Boulevard at Coit Road, Custer Road, Alma Drive, K Avenue, and Jupiter Road, Project No. 5989.1.  
 
Change Order No. 1 includes the increase in size for longer traffic signal poles and larger foundations necessary to avoid existing utility conflicts unforeseen prior to beginning construction at the Coit Road and Park Boulevard and Jupiter Road and Park Boulevard intersections. Also included are other utility changes necessitated by discovery of existing utilities in conflict at both intersections.

If this change order is not approved, it will result in incomplete and undersized facilities at both intersections, decreasing the safety for motorists travelling these two intersections, and resulting in additional maintenance costs.
