Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
Funding for this Amendment in the amount of $140,050 will be provided from the construction contingency to accommodate unforeseen circumstances. Funding is included in the FY 2007-08 budget for the U.S. 50 / Missouri Flat Road Interchange, Phase IA Project (#71317). Funding for this project is provided through the 2004 General Plan Traffic Impact Fee Program funds. There is no net cost to the County General Fund associated with this agenda item.
Reason for Recommendation:
On November 17, 2006, the Board approved Utility Agreement No. 2400.3 with AT&T for the relocation of their communication underground and overhead facilities within the limits of, and necessitated by construction of the Missouri Flat project where the County's share of cost was determined to be 27% of the total, or $59,950.
During construction of the Project, additional Owner facilities have been discovered which require relocation beyond the scope anticipated in the original agreement and AT&T has discovered that the actual construction costs will significantly exceed the original Owner provided estimate. The County's liability for relocation costs remains 27% of the actual costs; however, because the actual costs will significantly exceed the original estimate, the total dollar amount to be reimbursed by the County will exceed 125% of the original Agreement, necessitating this Amendment.
The purpose of this Amendment I to Utility Agreement No. 2400.3 is to amend Article I., WORK TO BE DONE, to revise the scope of work to include necessary design changes associated with the relocation of Owner's facilities; amend Section V., GENERAL CONDITIONS, to change County's Notices Recipients; identify County's Contract Administrator and amend the statement and table near the bottom of page four to increase the estimated cost to County for its share of the utility relocation work under the Agreement by $140,050 to a total of $200,000.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. The Board Chairman will sign six originals of Amendment I to Utility Agreement No. 2400.3.
2. The Board Clerk will forward five originals of the fully executed Amendment to the Department for further processing.
