Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 5 in the amount of $194,528.81 for North Mays Extension (Capital Excavation), a Road Bond project in Commissioner Pct. 1. P: 224  Funding Source: Road Bond

This Change Order adds various changes to the project, including the additional cost of hauling embankment material due to delays in the relocating of existing utilities; electronic changeable message boards used during road closures at the south end of the project; adjustment of existing water valve risers and a manhole in the North Mays Street and Paloma Drive intersection, additional driveway on northbound North Mays and north of the City of Round Rock Safety Training Center, a wall along the sidewalk in front of the Public Safety Training Center, and addition of permanent traffic control devices at the lane drop transition at the north end of the project. 

Item 132-WC01 Embankment (Utility Delay). Utility Companies did not relocate their utilities according to the projected clear dates in the plans. This delay prevented the Contractor from excavating material in the vicinity of these utilities and reusing this material as embankment in other areas of the project. To continue with construction of the roadway, the Contractor hauled material to the project to complete embankment areas. Once utilities were relocated, the excavated material in the vicinity of the conflict had to be hauled away from the project. This Change Order compensates the Contractor for the cost of the additional hauling caused by the delay of utility relocations.

Item 502-WC01 Portable Electronic Changeable Message Boards (PECMB). The PECMB's were added to provide advanced notification to the public of the road closure at the intersection of North Mays and Paloma Drive and left in place during the closure.

Item 502-WC01, 529-WC02, 529-WC03 Stone Curb Wall (related descriptions). A curb wall was added along the sidewalk in front of City of Round Rock Public Safety Training Center due to elevation differences between sidewalk and existing ground (landscaped beds) and limited right of way. By adding the curb wall, the landscaped beds were maintained. The City of Round Rock requested a stone facade to complement the view of the Safety Training Center.

Item 530-6004 Driveways (Conc). An adjacent property owner, along northbound North Mays Street, was granted a driveway north of the Safety Training Center. The driveway was constructed to the right-of-way line and was paid under the existing bid item.

Item 666-6072 Reflective Pavement Mark Type 1, White, Lane Drop Arrow, 100 Mil thickness. A diagonal arrow pavement marking was placed in the northbound lane drop transition to increase awareness of the right lane closure.

Item 999-WC04 Additional Survey for Traffic Control. Contractor's surveyors performed additional surveying for the layout of added traffic control elements.

Item 6049-6001 Long Channel Mount Curb System. Curb delineators were added along the edge line of the lane drop transition to increase awareness of the right lane closure.

Item 6120-6001 Dead End Roadway Barricade. A Dead-End Roadway Barricade is being added in front of the drop inlet and behind the lane drop transition devices to increase awareness of the drop inlet.

Item RR 506-WW06 Minor Manhole Height Adjustment, 48" Diameter, Item RR511-W12 Water Valve Riser Adjustment. These items compensate the Contractor for making necessary grade adjustments to three (3) existing utility risers and an existing manhole to match the new roadway elevations in the intersection of North Mays and Paloma.
