RECOMMENDATION(S):

(1) APPROVE the Tara Hills Full Trash Capture Project contingency fund increase of $175,000 for a new contingency fund total of $390,997, and a new payment limit of $2,550,962, effective September 13, 2022, as recommended by the Public Works Director


(2) APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Contract Change Order No. 1 with W. R. Forde Associates, Inc. effective September 13, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $237,082, Tara Hills area. Project No. 7517-6W7079 (District I)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Project is being funded by 100% Caltrans Storm Water Resources Control Board Grant.

BACKGROUND:

Contract Change Order No. 1 is necessary to pay the contractor, W. R. Forde Associates, Inc., for additional costs incurred as a result of utilizing W. R. Forde's alternative proposal of the Debris Separating Baffle Box (DSBB). 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.
