Approval to piggyback the FPUA contract with Mastec North America, Inc. and a Purchase Order in the amount of $273,561.36, to install conduits and related fixtures for AT&T and Comcast for the Avenue B Roadway Construction Project. 

In an effort to minimize time and cost to the Avenue B Roadway construction project, staff contacted Mastec to provide a construction cost estimate to install conduit and related fixtures to accommodate both AT&T and Comcast relocations along the project limits. Staff requested a cost proposal from the prime contractor, Heavy Civil, and from Mastec. Heavy Civil's cost proposal for this additional work was $367,845.00. Mastec's proposal for this work is $273,561.36. 

Mastec will be performing the FPUA underground relocations for the project. 

Additionally, both AT&T and Comcast have notified the City of the intent to provide invoices for their "design and relocation" work. These will be provided under separate cover. 

Staff is requesting approval of a Purchase Order in the amount of $273,561.36 be issued to Mastec, piggybacking FPUA   unit price contract with Mastec, to perform the installation of conduits and related fixtures for AT&T and Comcast.

The City may award a Change Order to Heavy Civil, Inc in the amount of $367,845.00 or the City could issue an RFQ for the additional dry utility work which would delay the project a minimum of 90 days.
