(Contract No. 2022-0433-B; Change Order No. 1) Approved |
| | | | | | | | PREVIOUS ACTION/PRESENTATION On July 25, 2022, City Council awarded a bid in the amount of $2,362,497 for Bridge Repairs Phase III, Project No. 7056 to A & B Construction, LLC. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND The Engineering Department recommends approval of Change Order No. 1 for the increase in the construction contract with A & B Construction, LLC, in the amount of $515,533, for the Bridge Repairs Phase III. The original contract amount is $2,362,496.50 and the amount of the current request is $515,532.50 for a total amount of $2,878,029.00.
Change Order No. 1 includes the additional funding to complete additional quantities, as warranted by existing field conditions and necessary additions to address deteriorating channel conditions and erosion, deteriorating bridge deck pavement, and various other maintenance items determined after construction began on the 43 bridge locations contained in this project.
If this change order is not approved, existing bridge conditions would continue deteriorating, including bridge deck pavement, erosion along channel banks up and downstream of bridges, and various other required maintenance items would not be addressed, resulting in an increase in continued maintenance costs, and potential safety concerns due to bridge system maintenance not being completed at routine timeframes. In addition, addressing the increase in maintenance scope further reduces the need for potential future large-scale bridge replacement projects at these locations. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL SUMMARY/STRATEGIC GOALS Funding for this item is available in the 2023-24 Street Improvements CIP. The first change order for the Bridge Repairs Phase III project, in the total estimated amount of $515,533, will leave a project balance of $29,213 for future expenditures.
Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
