South Main Street Corridor Improvement Project from 1st Street to Dyer Road January 17, 2023 Page 2 3 1 8 0 During construction, unforeseen utilities were encountered along the water main improvement alignment, requiring additional monies to complete the scope. With the added scope, additional material testing is needed to ensure compliance with the contract documents. Staff recommends adding $200,000 in water contingency funds and $250,000 in additional inspection and testing of Water Utility Capital funding. As a result of the increased scope of work, the project schedule was extended. One of the key improvements for the project is the rehabilitation of the existing pavement. The original schedule projected the completion of pavement to be April 2022, but with project delays the pavement was completed December 2022. Asphalt concrete unit pricing has increased since. In order to account for the price increase in asphalt concrete pavement material, Staff recommends reallocating $870,000 in unspent Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (SB-1) funds to complete the project’s paving scope. Funding was originally allocated to the Bristol Street Rehabilitation: Santa Clara Avenue to Memory Lane Project (No. 22-6990), but the project start date has been postponed to accommodate the construction of the Well 32 Rehabilitation Project (No. 13-6433) which falls within the same project limits (Exhibit 3). The Bristol Street Rehabilitation project scope of work includes resurfacing the existing pavement and replacing missing or damaged curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveway approaches, and wheelchair ramps. The Well 32 Rehabilitation project includes undergrounding work for the installation of 12-inch well discharge piping, with parallel fiber optic facilities, constructed from the well site at Morrison Park to the John Garthe Reservoir site. Postponing the Bristol Street Rehabilitation project to begin after Well 32 will avoid tearing up newly paved street in order to install Well 32’s underground infrastructure. Well 32 Rehabilitation project is scheduled to begin Spring 2023 and completed in Fall 2024. Future funds will be added to Bristol Street Rehabilitation: Santa Clara Avenue to Memory Lane. The increased construction funds will allow for continued consistency in delivering the project (Exhibit 4).
