PURPOSE:
City Council approval is requested for a change order to Contract 2021-001 for the 2021 Resurfacing of Streets Project. This change order for $1,100,000.00 is to account for additional streets being added to the original contract and for the extension of the original resurfacing limits for other streets in the contract.
BACKGROUND:
This change order #1 is necessary to cover the cost of adding three additional streets to the resurfacing contract and to extend the resurfacing limits of two others. The streets added include Creekridge Road from Rehobeth Church Road to Vandalia Road, Bryan Park Road from Summit Avenue to Townsend Road, and Green Valley Road from Westover Terrace to Benjamin Parkway. The resurfacing limits were also extended on Pinecroft Road and Yanceyville Street beyond their original contract 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 and extension of existing limits were 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.
City Council originally approved a contract award in the amount of $3,899,055.98 to Blythe Construction, Inc. on January 19, 2021. MWBE goals were 10.0% MBE and 8.0% WBE and Blythe Construction, Inc. achieved 10.0% MBE participation and 8.0% WBE participation. Change order #1 increases the total contract award to $4,999,055.98 and maintains MWBE participation at 10.0% MBE and 8.0% WBE.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $1,100,000.00 are budgeted in Field Operations Street Resurfacing account number 401-4302-05-5611.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
It is recommended by the Departments of Engineering & Inspections and Field Operations that City Council approve this change order for $1,100,000.00 Contract 2021-001 Blythe Construction, Inc.
