Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 8 in the amount of $35,881.14 for Project 23IFB8 Corridor H - Sam Bass Road (Cash Construction) P: 462 Funding Source: Road Bond.

This Change Order adds an item to compensate the Contractor for rock excavation / hammering required to construct the Brushy Creek Municipal Utility District (BCMUD) 6-inch water line “A”. This was necessary due to the AT&T lines not being relocated. Had AT&T been relocated, the Contractor would have been able to use a trencher instead of the larger track excavator to trench for the water line. This Change Order also adds an item to the Contract to relocate conduits for the Walsh Ranch electrical service that powers the existing pond at Walsh Ranch Boulevard. Please see the attached Change Order for additional details.  This Change Order results in a net increase of $35,881.14 to the Contract amount, for an adjusted Contract total of $34,459,783.96. The original Contract amount was $36,145,959.00. As a result of this and all Change Orders to-date, $1,686,175.04 has been deducted from the Contract, resulting in a 4.66% net decrease in the Contract cost. No additional days will be added to or deducted from the Contract as a result of this Change Order.
