Background and Discussion:
Project included the reconstruction of Upgrade Telge Road from 1,650-feet 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. The installation of steel plates over the existing roadside inlets was necessary due to concerns that the inlets were not rated for vehicle loads. To mitigate the conflict and prioritize the critical path, it was necessary to tap, drill, and remove the unknown gas line. Additionally, days were added because the critical items on the schedule were impacted by these conflicts.
The change in contract includes the following:
• Furnish, Maintain, Remove Steel Plates $15,039.70
• Drill/Tap & remove/Dispose of Unknown gas line $9,063.38
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.
