RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Byron Highway and Camino Diablo Intersection Improvements Project contingency fund increase of $25,000 for a new contingency fund total of $219,897.14, and a new payment limit of $2,168,868.54, effective December 12, 2017, as recommended by the Interim Public Works Director, Byron area. County Project No. 0662-6R4094, Federal Project No. HRRRL 5928 (117), (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Extra work is being funded by 23% Highway Safety Improvement Program Grant Funds, 17% Measure J Return to Source Funds, 12% East County Regional Area of Benefit Funds, and 48% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

Additional funds are necessary to pay the contractor, Granite Rock Company, for additional costs to be incurred as the result of encountering unanticipated underground utilities along the southern leg of Byron Highway, which conflicted with design to the project’s scope.

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

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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