Title
Resolution to Approve a Change Order with ABC Paving Company for the Sylvan Avenue Permeable Pavement Project ($6,376.65)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval, please find a resolution approving the Final Balancing Change Order with ABC Paving Company in the amount of $6,376.65. This change order revises the original estimated construction quantities to their final, as-constructed quantities, thereby balancing them.
The Sylvan Avenue Permeable Pavement Project consisted of the reconstruction of Sylvan Avenue, a 20-foot wide approximately 800-foot long residential street running between Packard and White Street. The project included the replacement of the curb and gutter, installation of underdrain, curb drain to collect sump pump discharges, some repair of existing utilities, and installation of a permeable asphalt pavement. The permeable asphalt pavement allows rainwater to pass through the pavement and into the ground, where it is filtered, cleaned, and temporarily stored until it can be absorbed or gradually enter the storm sewer system.
Some additional work not included in the original contract was performed by the Contractor in order to satisfactorily complete the project. These items included additional repairs to the sanitary sewer, and additional manhole replacement, additional road patches on the adjacent White Street, and construction of a temporary gravel roadway to allow Sylvan Avenue residents access to their properties while DTE Energy replaced a deteriorated gas main beneath the street. The last of these items is to be paid for by DTE.
The original contract with ABC Paving was approved by City Council on April 19, 2010 for a total amount of $378,875.25. The Final Balancing Change Order increases the existing contract amount by $6,376.65, for a final total of $385,251.90. 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.
Sufficient funds for the proposed change order are available within the existing Sylvan Avenue Permeable Pavement Project budget.
