PURPOSE
Consider a resolution to approve a change order to the contract with Hunt Construction, Consulting, Management Inc. (Hunt) for the waterline work associated with the Tower Road and Southern Street Road Construction Project.

BACKGROUND

The original scope of the Tower Road and Southern Street Road Construction Project (Project) initiated in 2012 was to construct a one mile long “ribbon of asphalt” for each roadway. Southern Street would be constructed as a 24’ wide strip of asphalt between Telluride Street and South 45^th Avenue, the same 24’ wide section would also be used for Tower Road between Bridge Street and Bromley Lane. 

The construction phase of the Project has encountered challenges related to weather and conflicts with existing utilities.  These challenges necessitate change orders to the waterline contract.

Hunt is the selected waterline contractor for the Project; significant work has been completed in the lowering of the 24” waterline.  That prior work required unanticipated modifications to adjacent waterlines to meet City requirements; that additional work cost $53,965.00.  Survey information collected during construction indicates approximately 250’ of the waterline has less depth than expected; staff has designed a lowering to address that shallow portion.  Multiple contractors bid the work; Hunt had the lowest bid at $114,510.00. 

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The combined total of the change orders related to the waterline total $168,475.00.  The initial contract award to Hunt is $164,430.00; the modified contractor amount would be $332,905.00.
