November 18, 2002 <br /> <br />Subject <br />2001 / 2002 Tree Preservation and Sidewalk Repair Program <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />By Motion, approve Change Order No. 2 for the 2001 / 2002 Tree Preservation and <br />Sidewalk Repair Program to Consortium Consolidated Corp of Santa Clara, CA, for the <br />not-to-exceed amount of $160,000.00. <br /> <br />Background <br />On June 10, 2002, the City Council approved the contract documents and specifications <br />and awarded the contract to Consortium Consolidate Corp (CC Corp) in the amount of <br />$537,143.00. CC Corp has been performing the sidewalk repairs to the contract <br />specifications and to the satisfaction of staff. The work scheduled for completion through <br />November, 2002 will amount to $500,000. Staff recommends increasing the contract <br />through Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $160,000, an increase of 29.8%. Change <br />Order No. 1 adjusts quantities and amounts in an increase of nineteen cents. The <br />Contractor is agreeable to increase the quantities of work included in Change Order No. 2 <br />at the existing bid unit prices. The additional work will allow staff to continue work in <br />reporting area 22, bordered by ConnectiCut to the east, Alameda to the west, Goodwin to <br />the north and Massachusetts to the south. <br /> <br />The approval of Change Order No. 2 will allow staff to continue to complete sidewalk <br />repairs within Reporting Area 22 through January, 2003. Approving the change order <br />compliments the Council's goal of accelerating the sidewalk repair cycle by continuing work <br />in the neighborhood without re-bidding the project. <br /> <br />The timing of the additional Work will be performed while staff meets their projection to <br />complete the current 2001 / 2002 project and advertise and commence the 2002 / 2003 <br />Tree Preservation and Sidewalk Repair Program within the current fiscal year. <br /> <br />Alternatives <br />Alternatives to the change order include: <br /> · Do not approve Change Order No. 2 for work not yet completed and do not <br /> perform additional work. End the current project when the original bid amount is <br /> reached. <br /> · Reduce the amount of Change Order No. 2 - reduce the amount of sidewalk <br /> locations the City will complete in reporting area 22 with this contractor. <br /> <br />01-02 TPSRP change orders <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
