PURPOSE:
City Council approval is requested for a change order to Contract 2020-001A - Part 2, for the 2020 Resurfacing of Streets. This change order for $437,429.02 covers all costs associated with adding additional streets in need of resurfacing to the contract.
BACKGROUND:
This change order is necessary to cover the cost of adding two additional streets to the resurfacing contact. These streets included Jefferson Road from W. Friendly Avenue to New Garden Road and Sixteenth Street from E. Cone Boulevard north to the City limits.
After this project was bid, it was determined by Field Operations that additional streets were in need of resurfacing. The addition of these streets was also determined to be financially advantageous due to the cost savings gained by the liquid asphalt price being lower at the time than the original bid price amount.
For the original contract amount, Blythe Construction, Inc. committed to 6.0% MBE participation and 13.02% WBE participation. Including this change order, Blythe Construction, Inc. was able to increase their MBE participation to 9.31% and increase their WBE participation to 24.93%.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funds for this change order will come from the Transportation Street Resurfacing Fund account 401-4302-05-5611 in the amount of $437,429.02
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Engineering & Inspections and Transportation Departments recommend that City Council approve this change order for $437,429.02 for Contract 2020-001A - Part 2 to Blythe Construction, Inc.
