PURPOSE:
City Council approval is requested for a change order to Contract 2010-126 for the Gate City Boulevard Streetscape - Phase I. In order to complete the work required under the contract, approval is required for this change order, with Sharpe Brothers Grading. Inc., in the amount of $380,000.00.
BACKGROUND:
This work consists of clearing & grubbing, pavement removal, excavation, concrete medians, curb & gutter, sidewalks, landscaping, and pavement markings. The contract was awarded to Sharpe Brothers Grading, Inc. with a bid of $13,292,638.73. The contractor’s commitment is MBE=5% and WBE=6%.
During negotiations for property acquisition, an agreement was made with JEMM, LLC (2507 Gate City Blvd.) to provide construction services for installation of a back egress from the property onto Ellington Street. This is in conjunction with closure of one of JEMM, LLC’s existing driveways on Gate City Blvd. which necessitated incurring additional contract expenses. The additional costs are due to: asphalt pavement removal, excavation, clearing & grubbing, curb & gutter, drainage structures, wooden fencing, concrete pad, asphalt pavement, and pavement markings.
Also, during construction, Water Resources representatives recognized the need to install approximately 1100 linear feet of 12” waterline along Coliseum Boulevard. The additional costs are due to: trench & backfill 12” waterline, remove and replace roadway pavement, milling of asphalt pavement, replacement backfill material, and associated gate valves, valve boxes, and iron fittings.
The original contract amount is $13,292,638.73 and approval of this change order request in the amount of $380,000.00 will make the new contract value $13,672,638.73.
