Title
Resolution to Approve Change Order No. 1 with CLI Concrete Leveling Inc. (Bid No. 4676) for the 2022 Sidewalk Repair Project ($98,000.00, Total Contract $191,600.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a change order to the construction contract with CLI Concrete Leveling Inc. (CLI) for concrete leveling services on the 2022 Sidewalk Repair Project.
This contract work includes leveling sidewalk slabs that have settled and hold water, have caused a displacement to adjacent slabs, or do not slope in the correct direction. Performing this lower-cost maintenance work helps to avoid the more expensive removal and replacement of otherwise good sidewalk slabs. Based on the contractor's unit prices, leveling saves the City an average of about $206 per slab over replacement.
The original estimate for the 2022 project was to level 1,300 slabs. However, a more detailed inspection to date has indicated that this amount will be significantly higher. While this will result in a greater expenditure for sidewalk leveling, it will likely also result in a significant reduction in the number of slabs that require replacement.
Therefore, the City seeks to proactively extend the value of this contract (originally $93,600.00) to accomplish this work through the 2022 Sidewalk Repair Project.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding for the project (TR-AT-22-02) comes from the Street, Bridge, and Sidewalk Millage, and is available in the approved capital budget.
