Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Quantity Adjustment/Change Order No. 1 with Chasco Constructors for the Harrell Parkway and Brushy Creek Plant Road Project.
Body
This Change Order #1 includes all the items necessary for the contractor to complete both the 24-inch and 30-inch waterline bores from the north side of US 79. These item include haul off of spoils, rental fencing, the additional casing, and the repairs to the parking lot after the completion of the bores and the waterline tie-ins. The project was bid to require the boring contractor to bore from south of the UPRR ROW to the north. After several days attempt with unexpected oversight expense by UPRR's inspection contractor, the initial effort had to be abandoned. Due to the rules being imposed by 3rd party UPRR personnel, the city made the decision to change the direction of the bore, moving from north to south. Although this caused additional expense to the boring contractor, the city estimates that substantial savings were realized by limiting the need for the railroad inspectors. The city also believes that this change reduced the number of days necessary to complete the work, keeping the project on schedule. This change order is for $86,069.00.
Cost: $86,069.00
