RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Balfour Road Shoulder Widening Project contingency fund increase of $625,000.00 for a new contingency fund total of $1,340,432.00, and a new payment limit of $5,594,754.00, effective June 19, 2018, as recommended by the Public Works Director, and


APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Contract Change Order No. 13 with Granite Rock Company, effective June 19, 2018, in an amount not to exceed $425,000.00, Brentwood area. Project No. 0662-6R4002 (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project is being funded by 100% Discovery Bay West Mitigation Fees.

BACKGROUND:

Contract Change Order No. 13 is necessary to pay the contractor, Granite Rock Company, for additional costs incurred by reconstructing existing portions of Balfour Road using the cold-in-place recycling method. This change will provide longer service life for the existing portions of the roadway.

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.
