RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Balfour Road Shoulder Widening contingency fund increase of $290,000 for a new contingency fund total of $715,432.20, and a new payment limit of $4,969,754.20, effective January 9, 2018, as recommended by the Interim Public Works Director; and

AUTHORIZE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Contract Change Order No. 4, Supplement 1, with Granite Rock Company, effective January 9, 2018, in an amount not to exceed $380,000, Brentwood area. Project No. 0662-6R4002 (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Discovery Bay West Mitigation Fees.

BACKGROUND:

Contract Change Order No. 4, Supplement 1, is necessary to pay the contractor, Granite Rock Company, for additional costs incurred as a result of utility delays which required the contractor to perform construction activities while protecting existing utilities.

The contingency fund increase is necessary to compensate the contractor for unforeseen extra work required to complete the project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The lack of approval would prevent successful completion of this contract and prevent payment for the additional work performed by the contractor.
