Background and Discussion:

Project included the reconstruction of Hufsmith-Kohrville Rd from Hollow Glen Lane to 500' North of Ezekiel from 2 lane asphalt road to 4 lane concrete curb and gutter boulevard with 32' raised median with traffic signals at Lacey Road and Ezekiel Road.  There are two outfalls within the limits of the project, North Pointe Boulevard and Champion Wood Drive detention ponds.

 

To mitigate conflicts and prioritize critical path, it was necessary to offset the waterline, and monuments were removed to ensure proper intersection sight distance.  Unforeseen site conditions and design adjustments led to quantity changes, resulting in necessary overruns and underruns.  Additionally, the reconstruction of Ezekiel Road-added as a new scope not included in the original contract-is being addressed through this contract modification to fairly compensate the contractor for the additional work.

 

The change in contract includes the following:
