Request for approval of a change in contract with Traffic Systems Construction, Inc., in connection with final construction of Intersection Improvement - Fry Road at Morton Road - 2022, adding 219 calendar days, with an addition in the amount of $120,041.60, Job No. 23/0177-1, UPIN 22104MF2JM01, Precinct 4, MWBE Contracted Goal: 30%, MWBE Current Participation: 68.77%.
end
Background and Discussion:
Project includes construction of intersection improvements including additional left turn lanes, dedicated right turn lanes, pedestrian crossing improvements with ADA ramps, additional sidewalks, traffic signal modifications, etc.
The final change order is to add 219 days that were delays caused by outside factors including limited working times dictated by Precinct along with delayed inspections from Traffic for signal modifications. This intersection is one of six intersections that were awarded as a package and all 6 intersections had separate Purchase Orders. This causes all 6 to run concurrently per the award of the contract. All 6 intersections experienced the same delays thus resulting in the addition of time to the contract as a whole on all 6 final Pay Estimates.
The final dollar amount added to the contract is for overruns per the original scope. No new items were added.
Expected Impact:
This final change order allows for the final payment of work completed to the contractor and will effectively close the project.
Alternative Options:
No alternative options.
