Background/Discussion: |
On April 27, 2023, City Council awarded Construction Manager at Risk Agreement No. WW2005.403 to B&F Contracting, Inc., for the Chandler Boulevard and Dobson Road Sewer and Water Improvements. As part of the project, approximately 8,500 linear feet of water mains prioritized for replacement in the 2018 Water Master Plan will be replaced from west of Dobson on Chandler Boulevard east to Chippewa Place. This is the second of three related Construction Agreements with B&F Contracting, Inc. The agreements are presented separately due to phasing and funding. The first contract included the sewer improvements portion of the work. This Change Order No. 1 – GMP2 includes the replacement of water mains, valves, fire hydrants, and water services in the intersection at Dobson Road and on the north side of Chandler Boulevard from Dobson Road to Chippewa Place, including long lead water materials for the work on the south side of Chandler Boulevard. This work uses funding allocated in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 budget. A forthcoming Change Order No. 2 – GMP3 is anticipated for the July 20, 2023, Council meeting agenda and will include labor and equipment for the water improvements on the south side of Chandler Boulevard from Dobson Road to Meadows Drive, fog seal, and pavement markings that will utilize funding allocated in the FY 2023-2024 budget, pending Council approval. An additional 120 calendar days has been added to the contract time for a revised total of 435 calendar days. The project began construction in May 2023 and is anticipated to be completed entirely in the fall of 2024. There will be significant impacts to the public with traffic control required to safely install and rehabilitate the sewer pipes, manholes and the main water lines. No intersection shutdown is planned. All construction work in proximity to businesses near the intersection will be paused during the winter holiday season (November 20, 2023-January 1, 2024). |
