Background and Discussion:
Project included the reconstruction of Upgrade Telge Road from 1,650-feet North of Louetta Road to 1,780-feet North of Telge Ranch Road. Reconstruction includes an upgrade of the roadway from a two-lane asphalt road with open ditches to a 4-lane concrete curb and gutter boulevard with a 32' raised median. To facilitate the installation of roadway infrastructure, the bollard needed to be removed and replaced. In addition, installation of the storm trunk line required the removal of the existing conflicting waterline, installation of a temporary waterline connection, and pumping of water at the conflict location. This change order also accounts for quantity adjustments, including underruns and overruns of various bid items, to ensure accurate project tracking and compensation.
The change in contract includes the following:
