PURPOSE:
City Council approval is requested for a change order to Contract 2014-19 for General Stormwater Improvements. In order to complete the work required under the contract, approval is required for this change order with Yates Construction, Inc., in the amount of $181,250.05.
BACKGROUND:
This work consists of stormwater infrastructure upgrades of existing drainage systems at three locations across the City of Greensboro. This project is part of the Water Resources Department's ongoing drainage system improvement program, which produces annual stormwater improvement construction contracts. The contract was awarded on March 17, 2015 to Yates Construction Company, Inc. (Stokesdale, NC) with a bid of $1,285,636.74. The MWBE contract commitment is MBE 3.2% and WBE 8.3%.
During construction, unforeseen site conditions and omissions within the contract documentation were discovered, which necessitated incurring additional contract expenses. The additional costs are due to the need to replace an unanticipated amount of soil in backfill in trenches, the need to redesign and move underground utilities and structures, and addressing the omission of miscellaneous items in the list of bid items.
The original contract amount is $1,285,636.74 and approval of this change order request in the amount of $181,250.05 will make the new contract value $1,466,886.79.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funds for this construction contract and the changer order are budgeted in Stormwater Capital Improvements fund account 506-7015-01.6018 A16028.
