DATE: October 1, 2019
SUBJECT:
A Resolution to Approve Change Order #1 with Martam Construction, Inc. for the Benton and Stolp Intersection Improvements
PURPOSE:
To approve Change Order #1 to the Benton and Stolp construction contract
BACKGROUND:
The Benton and Stolp pavement is in poor condition due to various underground improvements that have taken place over the past two years, including water main replacement, sanitary sewer improvements and the installation of a new Nicor high pressure gas main. The project includes removal of a significant amount of unused pavement, new benches, lighting, plantings and overall aesthetic improvements to the surrounding area.
DISCUSSION:
Martam Construction, Inc. is currently constructing these improvements under a contract awarded by city council in the amount of $540,854.00 by Resolution R19-239 on July 23, 2019. During the course of work, it was determined that additional sidewalk, curb and pavement quantities were required to complete the work as shown on the plans. In addition, the contract did not include the Item for Work to be Ordered by the Engineer to allow for work to be added during construction for unforeseen items. The attached Exhibit A - Change Order #1 in the amount of $99,390.00 includes the revised quantities. This change order will allow work to proceed as planned and provide additional funds for engineers to make changes that may be encountered during construction.
2019 budget for account 340-1830-465-73-76, A055, started at $850,000.00. $22,928.00 will remain in the account after the change order.
