Body
Staff Resource(s):
Susan Tolan, Engineering & Property Management
Explanation
§ The Parkwood Storm Drainage improvement/flood control project includes:
- Four separate culvert installations,
- Storm drainage,
- Channel improvements,
- Sanitary sewer relocations,
- Water line relocations,
- Curb and gutter,
- Sidewalk, and
- Erosion control.
§ On May 27, 2014, the City Council awarded the original contract in the amount of $5,136,776.56.
§ The City deleted the N. Brevard Street culvert installation from the project, resulting in a reduction of approximately $365,000. City Council will be asked to approve a separate construction contract once the proposed redevelopment plans are finalized.
§ Change order #1 in the amount of $456,500 will provide funds to accommodate the following overruns in contract items:
- Rock removal exceeds the quantity that was estimated based on the subsurface analysis.
- Additional backfill material due to the volume of rock encountered and the poorly graded composition of the remaining on-site soil.
- The total amount of rock removal and select material overrun is $821,101.40. Due to the deletion of the N. Brevard Street culvert work from the contract, the entire amount is not included in the change order.
§ The total value of the contract including this change order is $5,593,276.56 and funding is available in the program budget.
§ The project is on schedule to meet the completion date of December 2016.
Background
§ In October 2015, City staff was informed of a private redevelopment plan in the project area. The preliminary redevelopment plans indicated possible removal of a house that if left in place, would require significant work from the City when replacing the culvert at N. Brevard Street.
