Title
Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Approve Change Order #1 With Rumsey Construction, LLC For Additional Excavation Of Silt Material For The Country Place Pond Improvements Project In An Amount Of $106,000.00, And Increasing The Total Project Amount To $576,265.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City Council awarded a contract on July 2, 2019 to Rumsey Construction, LLC in the amount of $470,265.00 to fill a small cove adjacent to the main channel of the Hutton Branch to improve the long-term maintenance and aesthetic features of the area. The general scope of the project is to de-water the pond and remove silt, install a concrete bag retaining wall, backfill the area with suitable soils, place sod, address minor drainage modifications and related concrete removal and replacement.
Change Order No. 1 reflects a change in quantity to the "Pond Demo/Silt Removal" line item to accommodate additional excavation of silt material that has been identified while construction efforts have been underway. The removal of this material is necessary to allow for suitable soils to be unearthed for stability of the concrete bag retaining wall and the backfill soil material.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This change order consists of an additional $106,000.00, which increases the current contract from $470,265.00 to $576,265.00, a 22.5% increase. Funding for the additional silt removal is available in the Drainage Consolidated account.
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:
* Sustaining quality of life -Filling in the pond should make for a more aesthetic and pleasant experience in the subdivision and eliminate ongoing maintenance of the silt collection basin.
