Set Public Hearing For_ <br />0 <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Increase the contingency for the contract with R.J. Noble Company for Residential Street Repair, <br />Phase 16, by $500,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders in an amount <br />not to exceed the authorized contingency. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On March 5, 2012, the City Council awarded a contract to R.J. Noble Company in the estimated <br />amount of $2,633,564 for Residential Street Repair, Phase 16. During construction and while <br />removing the existing pavement, the contractor encountered areas where the street sections <br />were thicker than expected as well as a wet and unstable sub-grade. To ensure the integrity of <br />the new pavement, the excess water needs to be removed from the sub-grade. This process <br />requires additional excavation, which is greater than the amount specified in the contract, and <br />also strengthening the sub-grade with a cement-treated soil. Since the additional work was not <br />included in the original contract amount, staff is requesting an additional contingency amount of <br />$500,000 to pay for the work. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The contingency increase is $500,000 for the project. Funds are available in the Community <br />Development Block Grant Fund (accounting unit 13518783-66220). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Ra odinez Francisco Offif-erre4-V ,./,Y <br />Executive Dire for Executive Director <br />Public Works Agency Finance & Management Services Agency <br />,ft" uj(?( &Oatz?j <br />Nancy E ards <br />Interim E cutive Director <br />Community Development Agency <br />23B-1
