RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Byron Highway Shoulder Widening project contingency fund increase of $45,000 for a new contingency fund total of $98,375 and new payment limit of $632,133 and ADOPT Resolution No. 2011/494 accepting as complete the contracted work performed by RGW Construction, Inc., for the Byron Highway Shoulder Widening, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Byron area. Project No. 0662-6R4021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project contingency funds are currently insufficient to cover the increased costs. Total project cost is funded by 97.8% Proposition 1B funds and 2.2% Local Gas Tax funds.

BACKGROUND:

The contingency fund increase is necessary to compensate the contractor for various items of extra work necessary for the construction of the project. The changes include mitigating unforeseen issues related to soft subgrade. The requested increase of $45,000.00 will cover the cost for this extra work.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Public Works Director reports that said work has been inspected and complies with the approved plans, special provisions and standard specifications and recommends its acceptance as complete as of November 23, 2011.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The contractor will not be paid and acceptance notification will not be recorded.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
