RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Fred Jackson Way First Mile/Last Mile Connection Project contingency fund increase of $921,000.00 for a new contingency fund total of $1,759,756, and a new payment limit of $4,147,313.25, effective December 13, 2022, as recommended by the Public Works Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Project is being funded by 5% State Coastal Conservancy (SCC) Prop 1, 74% Active Transportation Program, 5% North Richmond Area of Benefit, 16% Transportation for Livable Communities.

BACKGROUND:

The contingency fund increase is necessary to compensate the contractor for unforeseen extra work required to complete the project. Due to unexpected utilities and a change in conditions during road reconstruction, a new design for the roadway was required. This created a change to the contract which was reflected in contract change orders. The new design reduced and eliminated approximately $583,000 in bid items from the original contract and the new design was paid for under Contract Change order no. 5, which was approved at the July 12, 2022 Board of Supervisors meeting. However, additional grinding and disposal of unsuitable materials was necessary and resulted in additional change orders to be paid from the contingency fund.

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.
