RECOMMENDATION:
Pass a motion to approve the final contract amount of $411,711.00, or 2.92% under the original contract amount of $424,106.00, accept work, and authorize final payment. (Project No. 618)
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
The contractor, Chamberlin Houston, LLC., completed all the work required under the contract in the amount of $411,711.00, which included six change orders with a net value of $37,605.00 and a $50,000.00 underrun.
The Inter-Terminal Train (ITT) at IAH is a fully automated mass transit system used to transport passengers, employees, and contractors between terminals. The system was built in different phases starting from Terminal A in 1968. The ITT Tunnel was leaking groundwater, causing intermittent flooding and resulting in cosmetic and maintenance problems. The subject construction contract was for necessary repairs to stop infiltration of groundwater.
During construction, the project was managed and inspected by Houston Airport System (HAS) personnel.
MWDBE PARTICIPATION:
The Contract did not require a M/WBE goal as the contract amount did not exceed the $1,000,000.00 threshold.
It is now requested that Council pass a motion approving the final contract amount of $411,711.00, or 2.92% less than the original construction contract amount of $424,106.00, accept work, and authorize final payment.
