Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The contract for the Clear Creek Scour Mitigation Project (Project) was approved by the Board on May 21, 2024 (Legistar File 24-0793). Construction started on July 23, 2024, and was completed on August 21, 2024. The Project repaired damage to Clear Creek Road caused by scour and implemented measures to mitigate future damage. Recordation of the Notice of Acceptance (NOA) will start legal time frames for guarantees, a lien period, and return of retention monies. Recordation of the NOA will also start the one-year time frame for releasing the Payment and Performance Bonds to the Surety.
Direct Construction Cost Summary:
Original Bid Price $ 334,750.00
Contract Item Cost $ 336,000.00
Contract Change Order Cost $ 27,942.90
Total Direct Construction Cost $ 363,942.90
Direct Construction Budget $ 410,614.00
Major Contract Change Orders (CCO) on the Project dealt with the following:
• Shoulder Backing
• Paved Eastside Shoulder
The final costs listed are estimates. Transportation will be closing out the Project with the Contractor and finalizing costs over the coming weeks. Any significant deviations from the estimates above that exceed Transportation’s allocated authority will be brought back for Board review and approval in a subsequent agenda item.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the NOA. Transportation staff would make modifications as directed by the Board and return for Board approval of the NOA. This would delay the release of the Payment and Performance Bonds and extend the Contractor’s warranty period.
