PREVIOUS ACTION/PRESENTATION

BACKGROUND

This change order is for reduction in quantities of contract items that were not needed to complete the Neighborhood Rehabilitation Project. The project was designed in the Spring of 2021.  Public Works staff utilizes street scores to estimate the amount of pavement removal needed on a street or neighborhood repair project.  The estimates typically range within 10%-15% above or below actual street repair needed within the project limits.  In this case, the estimate was 13% higher than actual concrete repair that was needed.  The remaining funds will be used on future street projects.

 

If this project is not awarded at Council, the City will not be able to utilize the remaining funds on a future project.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY/STRATEGIC GOALS

This item approves the first change order in the contract with Jim Bowman Construction Company, L.P.. for construction services for the Residential Concrete Pavement Repair Zones I7 and N3 project.  The first change order, reducing the current contract by an estimated $811,830, will leave a project balance of $1,002,932 for future street project expenditures.

 

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factors of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
