RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Upper Sand Creek Basin Project contingency fund increase of $1,000,000 for a new contingency fund total of $1,911,688.50, and a new payment limit of $11,028,573.50, effective February 11, 2014, and

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute Contract Change Order Nos. 4 and 5 with Goodfellow Top Grade Construction, LLC, effective February 11, 2014, in an amount not to exceed $214,273.68 for Contract Change Order No. 4 and $164,704.50 for Contract Change Order No. 5.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Project is being funded by 100% Drainage Area 130 Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Upper Sand Creek Basin Project has had significant earthwork quantity increases and contract change order work that has exhausted the original project contingency funds.

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

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The lack of approval would prevent successful completion of this contract and prevent the contractor from being compensated for additional costs.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
