The request of staff for the City Council is to review and to consider for approval, the attached contract modification Change Order No. 1 in the amount not to exceed $379,527.27 from D.A.B. Constructors, Inc.

As City Council may recall, the 2016 Street Improvement Project includes the annual repair and maintenance of many city arterial/collector roads, as well as residential road repair and maintenance, based upon the methodology in the Pavement Management Plan (PMP) developed by City Staff, the Genesis Group, and the Citizens Advisory Committee.  The PMP has allocated $1.7 million for street resurfacing annually.  Should the low bid amount fall under the $1.7 million, City Council has directed staff to move up the scheduling of streets in an effort to accelerate the proposed 20 year PMP and reduce the City’s return on investment.  The streets included in this project are identified in the cycle one paving group as being in the worst condition in need of resurfacing or street reconstruction.  They include, Congress St., from Massachusetts Ave. to Louisiana Ave., Madison St. from Massachusetts Ave. to Cecelia Dr., Orchid Lake Rd./Oreto Park area, Tropic Shores and the Le Clair Neighborhood. 

The additional streets identified are Daily Ln., Executive Dr., Tropic Dr., Water’s Edge Dr., and the construction of a sidewalk on the east side of Congress St. from Louisiana Ave. to Massachusetts Ave.
