Explanation
* On April 14, 2014, the City Council awarded the Blue Line Extension (BLE) Civil construction contract for segment B/C, from Old Concord Road to the end of line at UNC Charlotte, to The Lane Construction Corporation in the amount of $119,051,742.33.
* On January 26, 2015, City Council approved a contract amendment in the amount of $21,700,000 to settle delay claims related to utility relocations and to accelerate the work to recover the contract schedule.
* The change order will transfer $4.5 million from the overall BLE project contingency to the Civil B/C contract with The Lane Construction Corporation. These funds will be used to further accelerate the project schedule and to complete the following additional work items:
* Upgrade the fencing from welded wire to galvanized steel picket along North Tryon Street to improve the visual quality of the corridor;
* Add luminaire arms on signal poles;
* Modify intersection design to improve pedestrian safety;
* Design and quantity revisions based on field conditions and utility conflicts;
* Add an additional payment and incentive to further accelerate Segments B and C. The earlier completion will allow the Track and Systems contractor to proceed with a more efficient sequence of work.
* The costs associated with this amendment are within the current project budget from existing project contingency.
* The new total value of the contract with The Lane Construction Corporation is $145,251,742.33.
