Title
Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Execute Change Order No. 7 With Apple Pavement Services LLC As Part Of The City-Wide Sidewalk Improvements - Phase 4 Project, In An Amount Not To Exceed $18,000.00, Increasing The Total Project Contract To An Amount Not To Exceed $1,730,185.10
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City Council awarded a contract on December 3, 2024 to Apple Pavement Services LLC in the amount of $1,589,772.75. This project involves approximately 13 locations throughout the City of Carrollton in which to construct sidewalk improvements and associated appurtenances. Work includes the replacement or new construction of concrete sidewalk sections and ramps, retaining walls, crosswalk markings, and additional related items. Locations are present along a variety of road types, from major city arterials to residential streets.
During construction, it was discovered that a water line adjacent to the project was in need of repair. The contractor mobilized promptly and began repair activities; however, after coordination with Public Works, staff determined that an alternate layout was preferable to avoid interrupting water service to hundreds of homes, a school, and multiple businesses. As a result, the City directed the contractor to suspend work while a revised design was developed. The contractor was placed on hold for eight days. Under the terms of the construction contract, the contractor is entitled to compensation for downtime incurred as a result of City-directed delays. This change order covers the costs associated with that downtime while the City evaluated and selected the most appropriate repair approach.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Apple Pavement Services LLC submitted a proposal to the City of Carrollton to cover the above-mentioned items in an amount not to exceed $18,000.00. The revised contract amount (including previous Change Orders) would be $1,730,185.10, an 8.83% increase from the original contract amount of $1,589,772.75. Funding is available in Account Unit 854460 (Streets Consolidated), Activity 123320499.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project will support the City Council’s strategic objectives and vision of building a community that families and businesses want to call home by:
• Improving quality and safety of city-wide pedestrian infrastructure.
• Filling in gaps in the sidewalk along business corridors.
• Reducing required sidewalk repairs and maintenance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute a change order with Apple Pavement Services LLC for the City-Wide Sidewalk Improvements - Phase 4 Project in an amount not to exceed $18,000.00.
