SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing a change order in the amount of $111,913 for final payment to Thorne Electric Company for the New York Street and Galena Blvd two way conversion.
PURPOSE:
To authorize a change order in the amount of $111,913 for final payment to Thorne Electric Company for the New York Street and Galena Blvd one way conversion
BACKGROUND:
Thorne Electric was awarded the contract for two way conversion of Galena Blvd. and New York Street in 2014. The project was delayed to accommodate the sewer separation project on these two corridors. The project was completed in early 2016 and final invoice was presented in the fall of 2016.
DISCUSSION:
A change order is required in the amount of $111,913 for the final payment to Thorne Electric for work completed in association with the New York Street and Galena Blvd two way conversion.
The change order is the result of three major changes in the awarded contract. The first being delayed comments from IDOT that changed signal equipment at the intersections of New York Street and Galena Blvd intersecting with IL Route 25. The second being the transfer of significant River Street striping associated with the Lake Street and River Street conversion. Due to the lateness in the season in 2015 the striping subcontractor for the Lake Street and River Street project shut down prior to work being completed. Lastly additional temporary striping and final striping was completed in 2016 due to adjacent construction projects.
The FY 2015 and 2016 budgets provide funding for change order in the following accounts:
2015 Accrual
GC072 Two Way Conversion NY & Galena 340 4020 418 76-39 $84,391
2016 Budget
Neighborhood Street Improvements 340 4460 431 73 91 $27,522
IMPACT STATEMENT:
No Impact
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of a change order in the amount of $111,913 for final payment to Thorne Electric Company for the New York Street and Galena Blvd two way conversion.
