The City Crack Seal project is part of the ongoing Street Preventative Maintenance Program supported by the City Council since 1985. The contract provides crack sealing for approximately 20 miles of streets throughout the city before they are chip sealed.  The contract was awarded to Hardrives Construction in the amount of $133,452.46.  The original contract included an estimated 102,231 lbs. of crack filler, the amount being based on the street square footage and how much crack sealer is usually needed for a street.  This change order is a reconciling change order which is the difference between planned quantities and actual quantities.  An additional 18,909 lbs. of crack filler was needed to finish the 2011 project.  There were two factors that contributed to the increased quantity of crack filler.  First, the Rimrock Road area neighborhood had a significant amount of cracks above and beyond what was considered "normal" for an area.  Secondly, a portion of Alkali Creek Road was added to the project when it was realized that it was in need of preventive maintenance sooner than planned. Change Order #1(Final) will bring the total contract price to $157,277.80.  This represents an increase of 17.9% of the original contract price.
