Agenda Item
Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 8 in the amount of ($100,119.66) for Project 22IFB57 CR 401 Reconstruction (James Construction Group) P: 390 Funding Source: Road Bond.
Background
This Change Order adds items to the Contract to compensate the Contractor for extended overhead, stand-by time, and additional mobilization cost due to additional UPRR jack & bore requirements. After the bid opening, UPRR requested a more stringent jack & bore method that required the Contractor to modify their work plan, change their bore rig configuration, and perform additional monitoring. The newly introduced UPRR requirements resulted in a 5-month delay to the start date of the jack & bore operation and a reduced production rate for the installation of the City of Taylor water line.
This Change Order adds quantity and compensates the Contractor for added bore length and casing pipe that had to be added to allow for a safer work zone clear from traffic on the existing roadway.
This Change Order compensates the Contractor for stand-by time and remobilization cost due to the cancellation of the water line tie-in at CR 401 and US 79. The tie-in scheduled for 5/10/2023 was cancelled due to the inability to completely shut off the water to allow the connection of the new line to the existing City of Taylor water line and rescheduled for 5/19/23.
This Change Order also adds a contract item to install, flush, remove, and deliver a fire hydrant to the City of Taylor.
Lastly, this Change Order balances the Force Account, Trench Excavation, and Ductile Iron Fittings items for the City of Taylor. This Change Order amount is 100% reimbursable by the City of Taylor. Please see the attached Change Order for additional information.
This Change Order results in a net decrease of $100,119.66 to the Contract amount, for an adjusted Contract total of $13,941,775.17. The original Contract amount was $12,673,200.94. As a result of this and all Change Orders to-date, $1,268,574.23 has been added to the Contract, resulting in a 10.01% net increase in the Contract cost. No additional days will be added to or deducted from the Contract as a result of this Change Order.
