<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR <br /> <br /> COUNCIL ACTION.` <br /> <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br /> <br /> JANUARY 17, 2012 <br /> TITLE: APPROVED <br /> CONTINGENCY INCREASE FOR ? As Recommended <br /> FIRST STREET BRIDGE ? As Amended <br /> REPLACEMENT OVER THE SANTA El Ordinance on 151 Reading <br /> ? Ordinance on 2"d Reading <br /> ANA RIVER (PROJECT NO. 061723) ? Implementing Resolution <br /> ? Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br /> Increase the contingency for the contract with Powell Constructors, Inc., for the construction of <br /> the First Street bridge replacement over the Santa Ana River by $602,605 to a total estimated <br /> contract amount of $7,815,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders in an <br /> amount not to exceed the authorized contingency. <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> <br /> On March 21, 2011, the City Council awarded a contract for the First Street bridge replacement <br /> over the Santa Ana River to Powell Constructors, Inc. in the amount of $6,010,329, plus a <br /> contingency of $1,202,066 totaling $7,212,395. Unforeseen field conditions associated with the <br /> installation of the foundation and bridge deck structure, and unanticipated utility relocations have <br /> prompted additional work that was not part of the original scope of the project. <br /> <br /> The project is 40 percent complete; however, 95 percent of the original contingency amount is <br /> exhausted. To avoid a possible delay in completing the project, staff recommends that the <br /> contingency be increased by $602,605. Any contingency amount not used will remain in the <br /> project fund. <br /> <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br /> This is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 23A-1 <br />
