Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
There is no Fiscal Impact associated with this agenda item. There is no Net County Cost.
Reason for Recommendation:
The Contract for the Cameron Park Drive, Country Club Drive, Palmer Drive Intersection Improvements Project (Project) on Cameron Park Drive and Country Club Drive and Cameron Park Drive and Palmer Drive in the Cameron Park area was executed on November 14, 2007. The Project was substantially completed on October 5, 2008.
The Board actions above will start legal time frames for guarantees, a lien period, and return of retention monies. Doug Veerkamp General Engineering, Inc. acceptance of the final Contract cost is attached and summarized below:
Original Bid Price $1,014,309.05
Construction Contract Item Cost $1,053.293.76
Contract Change Orders $ 383,631.48
Final Cost of Construction Contract $1,436,925.24
The construction budget for this Project, as reflected in the Department of Transportation's (Department) 2007 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program, was $1,300,000. The increase in Contract item cost from $1,014,309.05 to $1,053,293.76 is due to estimated quantities being low for several Contract items. The items with significant increases were item 27, asphalt concrete (type A), which increased by $47,610, and item 26, slurry seal, which increased by $11,583. It is important to note that had these items been estimated correctly, the additional cost would have been reflected in the Contractor's original bid. Major Contract Change Orders on this Project dealt with retaining wall modifications, El Dorado Irrigation District water and sewer relocation and dust control.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) The Chairman will sign the Notice of Completion.
2) The Board Clerk will send the Notice of Completion to the Recorder/Clerk's Office for recordation and forward a copy of the recorded Notice of Completion to the Department.
