Title
Approval of a change order for E-Z Bel Construction on the Landa Street Project as part of the 2013 Bond Citywide Streets Program.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The Citywide Street Program was approved in the 2013 Bond election. Projects in this program could include: mill & overlay of pavement, curb repair/replacement, sidewalk repairs, and concrete diamonds around meter boxes and manholes.
The Landa Street (Walnut Avenue to Loop 337 Access) reconstruction project was designed by Vickrey & Associates. The City issued this project for bid on July 6, 2017. A total of three bids were received on July 31, 2017 . Each of the submissions was scored based on cost, relevant experience, schedule, and financial capacity. Based on this criterion, E-Z Bel construction was selected as the best value bidder. They submitted a bid of $1,087,049. The addition of contingency funding brings the amount for construction to $1,163,143. Raba Kistner Consultants performed the materials testing for this project with a not to exceed amount of $11,770.
During construction the project called for greater paving quantities than originally identified in design in order to increase the crown of the roadway. The crown of a roadway pushes water to the gutters that then moves to the nearest drainage inlet. The change order is based on the unit costs provided in the original bid tab. The larger paving quantities resulted in an additional cost of $87,000.
