| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Robert M Rivera, Public Works Director | | DATE: | 3/19/2019 | | RE: | 2016 Street Improvements Project - ITB No. 18-001 - Closeout |
REQUEST:
The request of staff for the City Council is to review and consider for approval the attached final pay request in the amount of $129,961.60 and the deductive change order in the amount of ($53,645.09) submitted by D.A.B. Constructors, Inc. for the completion of the 2016 Street Improvements Project ITB No. 18-001.
DISCUSSION:
The 2016 Street Improvements Project scope of work and street improvement selection was based on the City’s May 2015 Roadway Needs Assessment Report. The streets included in this project were identified in the report as part of the first five paving cycles as being in the worst condition in need of resurfacing and/or street reconstruction. These streets were Congress Street from Massachusetts Avenue to Louisiana Avenue, Madison Street from Massachusetts Avenue to Cecelia Drive, Orchid Lake Road, Evies Way, Francine Drive, Rutillio Court, Ferguson Court, Grant Avenue, Drinkard Drive, and Senate Lane.
On December 5, 2016 this project was awarded and approved by City Council in an amount not to exceed $1,314,444.44. As City Council may recall, on March 20, 2018 Change Order No. 1 was approved in the amount not to exceed $379,527.27 by City Council. The contract amount subsequent to the change order approval, became $1,640,326.62. The change order scope of work included the following additional streets Daily Ln., Executive Dr., Tropic Dr., Water’s Edge Dr., and the construction of a five foot (5’) sidewalk on the east side of Congress St. from Louisiana Ave. to Massachusetts Ave. This action was based upon methodology utilized in the City’s 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 and/or reconstruction annually. Should the low bid amount fall under the $1.7 million amount budgeted, City Council 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. This change order satisfied that recommendation and directive.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the final pay request and deductive change order is recommended.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding is identified in the Street Improvement fund, account #701701-46334. | | | |
