Background and Discussion:
The project involves constructing a new traffic signal system to replace the existing stop sign control at the 4-legged intersection of West Little York Road and Plantation Crest Drive. This system will feature mast arm poles, ADA-compliant ramps, actuated pedestrian push buttons, pedestrian luminaires, median nose enhancements, and updated pavement markings.
Changes include reconciliation of actual quantities used in construction with the estimated quantities included for bidding purposes.
- PCO - 1 10 additional days due to numerous utility conflicts on-site, the contractor utilized hydro excavation to expose the utilities.
- PCO - 2 An additional 14 days are granted due to Hurricane Beryl, during which the contractor was on-site replacing, repairing, and restoring traffic signals for the Harris County maintenance group.
- PCO - 3 Additional 7 days for approval to substitute Bid item# 160 Com Box with alternate fiber pull box (Graybar # AFL FCV-2-E-15).
- PCO - 4 Additional 10 days for processing and approval of RFI #6 to increase the footage of bid item #476, 12 Strand Fiber Drop Cable, from 180' to 548'.
- PCO - 5 An additional 5 days are requested for approval to relocate pushbutton #8 on pole #6 to the landing in preparation for future sidewalk installation.
- PCO - 6 Additional 3 days for approval of pedestrian signal on pole #2 to be moved to the opposite side of pole due the Center Point pole blocking the view.
- PCO - 7 Additional 8 days for approval due to Harris County Traffic maintenance availability for pre turn on and turn on.
- PCO - 8 An additional 10 days are requested for approval to determine new foundation locations due to utility conflicts.
- PCO - 9 Final Adjustment $19,846.47
