REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />OCTOBER 6, 2008 <br />TITLE: <br />CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR FLOWER <br />STREET BRIDGE REHP.BILITATION <br />OVER SANTIAGO CREEK (PROJECT <br />NO. 1780) <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />^ As Recommended <br />^ As Amended <br />^ Ordinance on 1St Reading <br />^ Ordinance on 2"d Reading <br />^ Implementing Resolution <br />^ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Amend the contract with Noeticorp for the Flower Street Bridge over <br />Santiago Creek Project, increasing the contingency amount from $46,440 <br />to $116,100. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On February 4, 2008, the City Council awarded a contract for the Flower <br />Street Bridge over Santiago Creek Project to Noeticorp, with the base <br />bid amount of $464,400 plus a ten percent contingency totaling <br />$510,840. <br />The contractor has currently completed approximately 250 of the work on <br />the Flower Street Bridge. Several changes issued to date have nearly <br />exhausted the City Council approved 10o contingency in the amount of <br />$46,440. Due to the complexity and age of the bridge, there have been <br />several unforeseen conditions. <br />Staff is recommending approval of the increased contingency to avoid <br />any delays in completing the project. If the current contingency is <br />exceeded within the next thirty days, it would cause significant delay <br />until April 15, 2009. This is due to the fact that all work in the <br />creek must be completed by October 15, 2008. Given these <br />circumstances, staff recommends an increase in the contract with <br />Noeticorp by an amount up to $69,660. <br />23B-1 <br />
