<br />On May 17, 2022, a second amendment was approved, amending the construction
<br />contract with CJ Concrete Construction, Inc. to increase the contract capacity by
<br />$2,000,000, for a new estimated project delivery cost of $3,700,000, in order to capitalize
<br />on the favorable pricing of the existing contract and complete these concrete repair
<br />projects promptly. CJ Concrete Construction, Inc. has demonstrated a high level of
<br />professionalism and commitment to quality work as part of this contract.
<br />As the project has continued, unforeseen higher volume of concrete repairs have been
<br />identified within the programmed neighborhoods. In order to complete these concrete
<br />repairs promptly and capitalize on the favorable pricing of the existing contract, staff
<br />recommends amending the construction contract with CJ Concrete Construction, Inc. to
<br />increase the contract capacity by $1,000,000, for a new estimated project delivery cost
<br />of $4,700,000. Any remaining funds will be used to continue sidewalk repairs in other
<br />areas of need.
<br />CJ Concrete Construction’s history of performing quality work for the City dates back to
<br />2010 and includes an Omnibus project (Project 10-6716), the Thornton Park Water Main
<br />Improvements project (Project 15-6448), and most recently, in 2022, on-going sidewalk
<br />improvements in City neighborhoods.
