RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the San Pablo Dam Road Traffic Safety Project contingency fund increase of $100,000.00 for a new contingency fund total of $227,020.28, and a new payment limit of $1,497,223.08, effective August 11, 2020, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Orinda and Richmond areas. County Project No. 0662-6R4151, Federal Project No. HSIPL-5928(142).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project is being funded by 65% Highway Safety Improvement Program Grant Funds and 35% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

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.
