Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Quantity Adjustment/Change Order No. 1 with J.D. Ramming Paving Company, LLC for the 2012 Street Maintenance Program (Arterial Repairs).
Body
The bid submitted by J.D. Ramming Paving Co., LLC for $1,269,270 for the 2012 Street Maintenance Program (Arterial Repairs) was approved by the City Council on September 27, 2012. The contract provided for pavement and concrete repairs along Sam Bass Road, Sunrise Road, A.W. Grimes Boulevard, Greenlawn Boulevard, Dell Way, Forest Creek Drive, and Donnell Drive.
After the contract had been issued, the Transportation Department decided to increase the scope of the project to include modifications to the center median on Sunrise Road north of Old Settlers to improve safety for access to and from Double File Trail. We have continued to have requests from community members and County Commissioners to make these improvements. The value of this scope change is $120,000 to the original contract. In addition, we have also had a significant quantity increase to the project. When we go out for bid on repair projects like this, it is extremely difficult for us to know for certain what the necessary limits for the repairs will be at bid time. Once we get into the field and begin the actual repair work, we make the appropriate adjustments to the project limits to allow for the repairs to be made correctly, for the long term. The quantity adjustments relative to this supplemental request are $490,321.
Therefore Quantity Adjustment/Change Order No. 1 is necessary for increased actual pavement repair quantities and the project expansion to include the safety improvements along Sunrise Road at a combined cost of $610,321.
Cost: $1,879,591
