Title
Resolution to Approve a Change Order with Doan Construction Company for the 2012 Ramp & Sidewalk Repair Project ($147,962.61)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval, please find a resolution approving the Final Balancing Change Order with Doan Construction Company in the amount of $147,962.61. This change order revises the original estimated construction quantities to their final, as-constructed quantities, thereby balancing them.
The 2012 Ramp & Sidewalk Repair Project consisted of the repair of deficient sidewalks in approximately 20% of the City. This year's project is the first in an annual program over the next 5 years to inspect and repair sidewalks throughout the City. The project also includes the remaining ADA ramp work in each of those areas that is required by the consent decree.
On May 7, 2012, City Council approved the existing contract with Doan Construction Company for a total amount of $820,459.82, which was based on estimated quantities of sidewalk to be completed in the first 20% of the City. As construction progressed, it was found that the number of repairs was higher than what was originally estimated, thus requiring an additional $147,962.61 worth of work in order to complete all the sidewalk and ramp repairs within the scheduled work area for 2012.
The Final Balancing Change Order increases the existing contract amount by $147,962.61, for a final total of $964,991.43. The proposed Final Balancing Change Order has received the contractor's acceptance. Upon approval of this change order, we will make final payment to the contractor and close the project.
Doan Construction Company has received Human Rights approval on April 3, 2012. All employees of Doan Construction Company, assigned to work on the project will receive compensation in accordance with the Living Wage Ordinance.
Funding for this Change Order is available in the approved Street Resurfacing Millage Capital Budget, which includes the 1/8-mil increase approved by voters in November 2011 for purposes of performing sidewalk repairs.
