Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the ratification of Change Order No. 1 to the DPE Contract for the construction of the International Plaza Roadway Improvements Project. (Eulogio Vera, Director of Public Works)

In late March, Council approved a construction contract with DPE for roadway improvement of Bentu Avenue, Cadena Avenue, Dimas Avenue, and sections of Piceno Drive in International Plaza I subdivision for $182,932.05.  During the early phases of construction, staff noticed that the limits of construction for this project as well as the planned project to be partially funded by a CDBG grant do not include the westernmost section of Piceno Drive which is in very poor condition.  It has experienced severe settlement, which is currently causing drainage issues.  A change order was requested to include this area as part of the ongoing project by extending the project limits since we have very competitive unit prices and we won't get better pricing if somebody was to mobilize to do the work in the future. DPE has submitted Change Order No. 1 with an amount of $32,727.92. 

With the Change Order No. 1, a 15-day time extension was requested to the contract time to allow the completion of the additional work.  The project is now scheduled to be completed by July 6, 2018.
