Authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute Change Order No. 3 to Bid No. 2019-024, Gus Thomasson Road Reconstruction, Utility & Drainage Improvements - U.S. Highway 80 to Town East Boulevard, with Tiseo Paving Company to reconcile contract quantities to field quantities and provide payment for additional work in the amount of $276,526.19.
Body
The City Council approved the original construction contract with Tiseo Paving Company, Inc., on December 3, 2018. This construction project provides infrastructure improvements, which includes replacing aging water, sanitary sewer and upgrading the drainage infrastructure through the corridor. Also, included in the project is a 12-foot trail along the west side of Gus Thomasson Road with monuments memorializing the astronauts for which the streets were named. The original contract amount, as initially awarded, was $12,068,789.21 with 720 calendar days for completion of the project.
Change Order No. 1 was approved by the City Council on December 2, 2019, in the amount of $300,000.00 for reaching milestone incentives as dictated by the project documents.
Change Order No. 2 was approved by City Council on March 2, 2020, in the amount of $31,123.34 for additional work completed.
Change Order No. 3, in the amount of $276,526.19, is to reconcile contract quantities to the constructed quantities and compensate the contractor, Tiseo Paving Company, Inc., for additional work performed, which includes, but is not limited to the following items:
• Increase Pay Item 39 by 1,860.4 square feet of concrete retaining wall, to accommodate properties adjacent to the right of way and keep them at an appropriate grade that is safe to maintain.
• Increase Pay Item 75 by 1,544 linear feet of addition trenches, where storm sewer was removed, with embedment backfill. The vast majority of these areas under the hike and bike trail, which should have been included in the contract quantities, as the trail is subject to vehicular loading.
• CO#3-3: To accommodate ADA grades at the intersection of Motley Drive and Gus Thomasson Road, a retaining wall and inlet was installed for the parking lot of the Motley Mart to accommodate storm water runoff.
• CO#3-7: Use of “mud-jacking” to lift the gutter line and allow for positive storm water runoff and prevent trapping the runoff at the limits of construction on Rustown Drive at Gus Thomasson Road.
Attached is a detailed itemized listing of adjusted quantities and new pay items to cover the change in scope of the construction project. No additional time will be added to the contract as the construction is substantially complete and only punch list items remain.
Financial Implications
Sufficient funds are available in the project budget to accommodate this change order.
