Title
Resolution - Authorization of a Change Order and Providing Additional Funds for the Paving and Traffic Signal Improvements for Broad Street and Miller Road Intersection with XIT Paving and Construction, Inc. in the amount of $23,572.52 (Street Bond Fund)
Requested Action
Approval of the change order to the contract with XIT Paving and Construction, Inc.
Recommendation
The Engineering Staff recommends the approval of the change order to the contract with XIT Paving and Construction, Inc.
Description/History
The project was awarded by Resolution 2926-13 to XIT Paving and Construction, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $361,349.15. The change order represents 6.52% in addition to the resolution.
The contract award amount was exceeded due to additional work beyond the scope of the contract. Prior to construction, during the bidding process, it was decided some additional street panel repairs were needed near the project. Normally this is handled by the street department but since this project was already set up for traffic control and lane closures, it was more feasible to allow the contractor make the street repairs.
Justification
The additional work was beyond the scope of the contract.
The Public Works Director will be in attendance at the meeting to answer Council's questions regarding the proposed change order. A Resolution is attached for Council's consideration.
