DISCUSSION On February 4, 2008, the City Council awarded a contract for the Flower Street Bridge over Santiago Creek Project to Noeticorp, with the base bid amount of $464,400 plus a ten percent contingency totaling $510,840. The contractor has currently completed approximately 250 of the work on the Flower Street Bridge. Several changes issued to date have nearly exhausted the City Council approved 10o contingency in the amount of $46,440. Due to the complexity and age of the bridge, there have been several unforeseen conditions. Staff is recommending approval of the increased contingency to avoid any delays in completing the project. If the current contingency is exceeded within the next thirty days, it would cause significant delay until April 15, 2009. This is due to the fact that all work in the creek must be completed by October 15, 2008. Given these circumstances, staff recommends an increase in the contract with Noeticorp by an amount up to $69,660. 23B-1 Contract Amendment for Flower Street Bridge October 6, 2008 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT The increase of the contract and contract amount of $580,500.
