Consider Change Order for IP 08-34 151st Avenue, 152nd Avenue and Fluorine Street Improvements

The City recieved a petition from the residents on 151st Avenue, 152nd Avenue and Fluorine Street requesting that the gravel streets be paved. The petition was accepted by the City Council and Plans were ordered. The project was designed with final grades matching existing grades to the maximum extent possible. The earthwork quantity on the bid form compared the existing grades to the final grades. The quantity of soil removed from the site exceeded the bid quantity and the contractor submitted a request for a change order. Staff reviewed the request and found that the thickness of the pavement section was not included in the original earthwork quantity. Additional earthwork was required when grades were adjusted in the field to make the transition from the existing paved driveways to the new street smoother.

 

The project is now substantially complete, with only restoration and punchlist work to be completed in the spring.

Staff recommends approving Change Order No. 1 for IP 08-34 151st Avenue, 152nd Avenue and Fluorine Street in the amount of $39,063.75.

The total for the increased work is $39,063.75.  This will be split with 45% being assessed to the property owners and 55% coming from the Public Improvement Revolviong (PIR) Fund.  This split was determined based upon the preliminary assessments referenced in the feasibility study for the project; assessments cannot exceed a 10% increase from the preliminary costs referenced in that document.
