Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $19,683.04 for O'Connor Traffic Signals (Champion Infrastructure), a Road Bond project in Commissioner Pct. 1.
P: 329  Funding: Road Bond

This Change Order adds a new item to compensate the Contractor for extra work to install conduits under the existing roadway via "open-cut" method at the Liberty Walk intersection and to repair storm sewer pipes that were damaged while attempting directional drilling. Due to various utility conflicts encountered within the constrained right of way at the Liberty Walk intersection, it is not feasible to install conduits under the existing roadway by directional drilling as specified in the Contract. Conduit crossings must be installed via "open-cut" method, which requires different equipment, additional traffic control, and pavement repair. This Change Order is for work performed in July and August 2020 only. The conduit work at the Liberty Walk intersection is not yet completed. The remainder will be included in subsequent change orders. This Change Order also subtracts bid quantities for conduit items that will not be used at the Liberty Walk intersection after switching to the "open-cut" method.
