Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 8 in the amount of $91,592.30 for Seward Junction (Jordan Foster), a Road Bond project in Commissioner Pct. 2.  P: 274  P: 271  Funding Source: Road Bond

This Change Order corrects hot mix asphalt item call-outs, makes the pavement section on Seward Junction Southwest the same as the pavement section on the Southeast portion and documents final asphalt quantities for the project.

The seal coat was not applied because the minimum temperature requirements were not achieved.  The seal coat was scheduled to be applied during the winter and was to be used on minor side streets that included a thick hot mix pavement section. Waiting for minimum temperatures would have delayed the paving of the project. TxDOT did not require the seal coat to be placed in the crossover between northbound and southbound US 183. This work was deleted from all three (3) sections of the project. 

Item 340-6122 D-GR HMA TY D PG 70-22 replaces Item 341-6027 D-GR HMA TY C SAC B PG 70-22 as the final asphalt surface, because it provides a better ride quality and will allow for a longer life span with less maintenance requirements. This item was added to all three (3) sections of the project.

Item 341-6008 D-GR HMA TY B PG 64-22 was added to the Seward Junction Southwest in Change Order 1. This Change Order adds this item to the Southeast portion where it was called for in the plans, but no pay item was included in the Bid Tab for Seward Junction Southeast. 

Item 341-6038 D-GR HMA TY D PG 64-22 replaced 341-6008 D-GR HMA TY B PG 64-22 as the bond breaker under the concrete pavement and was revised to reflect actual quantity used on the project. Type B HMAC cannot be placed 1 inch thick, as called for in the plans.
