Sunwood Drive / Armstrong Blvd - Consider Change Order #3

The City Council previously approved the construction contract for City Project 12-20.  The original plans included an access drive to serve the existing retail area (Coborn's, Aculpulco, etc.) that traverses across the COR TWO development area to re-establish access to Northstar Marketplace. 

The original plans also included sanitary sewer and watermain stubs as well as a run of storm sewer to drain the COR TWO site area until development occurs.  The strorm sewer, watermain stubs, and sanitary sewer stubs are incorporated into the Site Plan design for the COR TWO retail area.

N/A

The proposed Change Order includes an ADA concrete crosswalk at the access drive, which was not included in the original design. This crosswalk now serves the public trail easement connecting Sunwood drive to the future pedestrian underpass at Armstrong. This change order also includes storm sewer modifications in the COR TWO retail area that Landform has identified to be required based on the most current revisions to the approved Site Plans based on revisions required to meed LRRWMO comments.  The Change Order also addresses other minor storm sewer and curb alignment revisions on Sunwood Drive that were identified during construction. 

The cost provided by North Pine Aggregate for Change Order #3 is an increase of $23,559.72. 

We recommend approval of Change Order #3

The funding sources of this project have been previously identified.  A portion of the costs that are associated with the COR TWO plat will be allocated to the HRA.  The Development Manager and engineering staff will prepare a comprehensive allocation of costs based on actual bid prices and work effort and present it to the City Council and HRA at a future date. Some of these revisions will result in reductions in the HRA costs associated with the retail project, as items are being moved to this contract for greater efficiency in construction.  The funding source for the cost overage that is associated with Sunwood Drive will be the equipment revolving fund. 

Motion to approve Change Order #3
