SUBJECT: Pass a motion approving Change Order No. 1 for Windfern Road: Clay Road to Wingfoot Road.
RECOMMENDATION: (SUMMARY) Pass a motion approving Change Order No. 1.
PROJECT NOTICE/JUSTIFICATION: This project is part of the Capital Improvement Roadway Pavement Replacement Program. This program improves the quality and safety of vehicular mobility and provides the reconstruction and rehabilitation of streets along with the repair and improvements to curbs, curb ramps, and installation of new fire hydrants.
LOCATION: The project area is generally bound by Genard Road on the north, Clay Road on the south, Campbell Road on the east, and Hollow Hook Road on the west.
CHANGE ORDER No.1: The Change Order specifies that the additional funds are needed to utilize double-layer reinforcement for the proposed pavement instead of the normal single layer. This change is due to the high-volume use of eighteen-wheeler traffic.
The proposed Change Order No. 1 is in the amount of $553,028.74, or 16.66% above the original contract amount. This will increase the contract amount to $3,871,834.24.
M/WBE PARTICIPATION: The M/WBE goal established for this contract is 20.00%. The original Contract approved by Ordinance No. 2022-0745 was in the amount of $3,318,805.50. Assuming approval of Change Order No. 1, the Contract amount will increase to $3,871,834.24. The Contractor has met the MWBE goal established for this project.
