Title
Resolution to Approve Change Order No. 1 with Z Contractors, Inc. for the Huron Parkway Bridge Capital Preventative Maintenance Project ($86,059.75 Increase, Total Contract Amount $743,506.26)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a change order to the construction contract with Z Contractors, Inc. (RFP 22-09) for the Huron Parkway Bridge Capital Preventative Maintenance Project.
This project consists of performing capital preventative maintenance repairs on the Huron Parkway Bridge over the Huron River. Capital Preventative Maintenance repairs are work that is considered beyond the normal operations and maintenance work that would be performed by the City’s own Public Works forces. More specifically, the work includes the repair of spalled concrete and delaminated concrete areas on deck, curbs and sidewalks; and portions of the guardrails, as well as removal of trees and vegetation growth in the rip-rap areas along three northern piers and other minor items. The bridge was originally constructed in 1968 and partially rehabilitated in 2000 and 2007.
The additional contract work includes some minor additions such as anti-slip coating on all 8 of the expansion joint covers rather than just 4 and adding some missing items of work. The total change order amount is $86,059.75, which exceeds the contingency originally approved by Council ($66,000.00). This Change Order will bring the total contract amount to $743,506.26 and will allow for final payment to the contractor and subsequent closing out of the contract.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding for the project and this change order is included in the FY23-28 Capital Improvements Plan (TR-BR-18-02). Funding is available in the approved Public Services Area, Street, Bridge and Sidewalk Millage Capital Budget.
