Background and Discussion:
The project involves constructing the third and final phase of the John Paul Landing Detention Basin master plan. Its goal is to provide a stormwater quality detention pond, achieving the full intended functionality of the basin to enhance drainage and reduce flooding risks. Additionally, it offers opportunities for natural and man-made amenities, including habitat creation, recreational trails, and future community programming. The project is located on the eastern edge of the North Basin Cell and runs north-south alongside Langham Creek.
The change involves an increase of 41,523 cubic yards in detention basin excavation quantities to address the shortage in the original contract excavation amounts. This adjustment will add $498,276.00 to the current contract value, ensuring the project can be completed as originally intended.
Added items:
PCO #1 - Additional Excavation Quantities: (Total Cost: 41523 CY x $12/CY = $498,276.00 / Days: 0)
Expected Impact:
The change allows for the addition of excavation quantities to the contract so the project can be completed in accordance with the original intent and in compliance with precinct requests.
Alternative Options:
No alternative options.
If no action is taken, the full intended functionality of the Detention Basin master plan will not be achieved. The pond will not be able to provide the proposed drainage improvements to reduce flooding risks.
