Title
Resolution to Approve Change Orders No. 4 and No. 5 with Action Traffic Maintenance, Inc. for the 2018 Guardrail Rehabilitation Program ($37,407.39)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration and approval is a resolution to approve change orders number 4 and 5 with Action Traffic Maintenance, Inc. for a total amount of $37,407.39 for the maintenance and replacement of guardrails at various locations throughout the City.
The City has guardrails in approximately 60 locations, and until now has addressed their condition reactively (e.g., after a guardrail had been damaged). In order to address the proactive updating and repair of guardrail throughout the City, Council awarded a construction contract to Action Traffic Maintenance, Inc. on September 17, 2018 in the amount of $322,527.00 plus a contingency of $32,000.00, for a total authorized amount of $354,527.00.
While change orders #1- #3 were within the authorized amount and were approved administratively, change order #4 ($89,297.38) was erroneously approved in April of 2020, which exceeded the Council authorized amount. Change order #5 corrects this error and sets the total contract amount at $391,934.39, which is expected to be sufficient to complete the remaining work. It should be noted that to date, $321,589.39 has been paid to the contractor, which is still within original amount authorized by City Council.
The remaining guardrail repair work under this program is expected to be completed this Fall. Upon completion of this work, the City will have completed all its planned capital maintenance on the guardrail system.
Action Traffic Maintenance, Inc. is in compliance with the requirements of the City's Non- Discrimination and Living Wage ordinances.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding for this work was is available in FY 21 Approved Major Street Fund Operations and Maintenance Budget.
