Background and Discussion:
Project included the reconstruction of Upgrade Telge Road from 1,650-ft North of Louetta Rd to 1,780-ft 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. The contract adjustments are necessary to properly compensate the contractor for additional work, including improving pavement ride quality to ensure safer and smoother road conditions, addressing delays caused by required coordination and conflict resolution with existing utilities, and performing additional concrete removal and labor after encountering an unforeseen conflict with the buried foundation of the existing brick wall during slope‑paving installation-all of which required extra effort, time, and resources not anticipated in the original plans.
The change in contract includes the following:
• Diamond Grinding of Northbound Pavement 1LS $5,916.85
• Hand demolition of Brick wall fo9undation 70LF $12,008.80
• The final adjustment (reconciliation of actual quantities used in construction against the bid quantities). ($75,732.84).
Expected Impact:
This change will allow the Contractor to be properly compensated for the additional work.
Alternative Options:
Conduct thorough pre-construction assessments and detailed utility mapping to identify and mitigate potential conflicts early.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.
County Strategic Plan Objective: F: Ensure safety and security for all using the county’s transportation network in alignment with the County’s Vision Zero plan.
