Background and Discussion:
Project included the reconstruction of Telge Road from 1,650-ft North of Louetta Road 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. Mandrel testing were implemented as quality assurance measures despite not being specified; in addition, the pilot channel was replaced with a ditch channel due to the proposed wet pond bottom, requiring separate excavation, and a 1-foot clay liner was added to mitigate erosion in sandy conditions during vegetation establishment; furthermore, a 16-inch gate valve was added after water line installation due to evolving system requirements and escalating material costs.
The change in contract includes the following:
New Items:
- Mandrel Testing 1 EA = $11,321.73
- Pond Earthen Channel 178 CY = $14,686.78
- 16" gate valve including escalation cost I EA = $20,895.39
- Installation of 16" gate valve on previously installed waterline 1 EA = $5,000.00
Existing items overrun
- Riprap 18” gradation No.1 119 SY = $15,556.87
- Pond Slope Treatment 1’ thick 250 CY = $11,010.00
Reduction of existing items
- Reinforced Concrete Pilot Channel 710 SY = $59,292.10
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.
