BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Due to the increasing volumes of traffic on and around Trimmier Road, on March 26, 2013, the City Council authorized staff to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Mitchell and Associates, Inc., to prepare the designs for road widening and additional access improvements along Trimmier Road spanning from Jasper Drive to Elms Road, coinciding with construction being completed through the Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) US 190 widening project (CCM/R 13-029R.). On September 23, 2014, the City Council authorized awarding a construction contract to McLean Construction, Inc. in the amount of $6,845,845.00 (CCM/R 14-129R).
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION
Change Order No. 4 will modify plan quantities for items of work for the City’s Trimmier Road Widening project, relocating the existing waterline to allow for the installation of upgraded storm drainage. This work is being performed in the right-of-way area on the eastside of Trimmier Road between Bacon Ranch Road and Lowes Boulevard. The Change Order will also add 22 days to the project time.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for Change Order No. 4 in the amount of $98,986.85 is available in the Trimmier Road Widening Project account 347-3490-800.58-76. The change order results in a total contract price of $7,382,056.35, or a cumulative 7.83% increase to the original contract.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 4 with McLean Construction, Inc., increasing the cost of the contract by $98,986.85.
