Title
Resolution to Approve Change Order No. 2 with Strawser Construction Inc. for the Annual Street Preventative Maintenance Program FY2024; ($150,477.12 Increase, Total Contract Amount $1,850,477.12)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a contract modification (change order) to the construction contract with Strawser Construction Inc. for the Annual Street Preventative Maintenance Program FY2024 (RFP 22-37).
This program consists of performing pavement preservation activities including hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement repair patching, crack and joint filling, cape seal surface treatments, pavement marking restoration and other related work on select Major and Minor (Local) streets throughout the city that are considered suitable for this work based on condition assessments and PASER ratings.
Final quantities for this contract were balanced via Change Order No. 1 in the amount $150,000.00, which was approved administratively within the allotted contingency for the contract extension. Change Order No. 2 involves work to restore specialty pavement markings for bike lanes and related facilities, and other markings that were disturbed by the pavement preservation activities. Quantity increases and decreases are primarily due to errors and omissions, field conditions encountered during construction, and value-added work.
The initial contract award, including contingency, equaled $1,700,000.00. The total change order amount for Change Orders 1 and 2 is $300,477.12, which exceeds the contingency originally approved by City Council ($150,000.00) by $150,477.12. Change Order No. 2 will revise the total final contract amount to $1,850,477.12.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding for this program and change order is included in the FY2023-2028 Capital Improvements Plan (TR-SC-22-12). Funding is available in the approved Major Streets Fund, Local Streets Fund, and Street, Bridge and Sidewalk Millage Fund.
