SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
The Contractor, Jerdon Enterprise, L.P., has completed all the work required under the contract for the Terminal A & B Departure Area Paver Replacement Project at IAH (Project No. 749) in the amount of $1,587,253.28 and includes four change orders with a net value of -$711,336.72. The Contract was descoped to eliminate Terminal B, as the work was determined to be unneeded.

During construction, the project was managed and inspected by HAS personnel.
It is now requested that City Council pass a motion to approve the final contract amount of $1,587,253.28, or 30.95% under the original contract amount of $2,298,590.00, to accept the work, and to authorize the final payment.
