FROM: Ron Molendyk, City Manager
DATE:, September 28, 1993
SUBJECT ,: CHANGE ORDER NO.' 3 FOR LARESHORE DRIVE /ROBB ROAD
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, R.A. RUIZ CONSTRUCTION
BACKGROUND
The contract for the improvements to the Lakeshore Drive /Robb Road
Intersection was awarded to R.A. Ruiz Construction on October 8,
1991 by the City Council for $305,187.70. Construction of the
improvements began in December of 1991. Change Orders Number 1 and
2, which increased the contract by $53,397.03, were previously
approved by Council.
ANALYSIS
During the construction of the improvements, situations were
encountered by the contractor that, required extra work to be done.
These items are described below.
a. Prior to final paving of the street.G.T.E. applied for a
permit to trench across the street 'and install conduits .for
their new building. In order.to keep.the new paving from
being disturbed, G.T.E. was - allowed to do their work before
the contractor paved the street. Their work took
approximately two months. when their trenching was complete,
the contractor had to regrade and compact portions of the
aggregate base that they had previously placed. The total
increase was $1,500.00.
b. One of the items of work in the contract was to adjust
manholes to grade. When the contractor tried to adjust the
manhole at the entrance to Terra Cotta Jr. High, it was
discovered that the manhole had to be reconstructed instead.
The total increase was $2,500.00.
C. During the first phase of the work, the base course paving on
the west side of the road had to be placed during wet weather
in order to open the road to traffic as quickly as possible.
In some isolated areas the paving and base had to be removed
and replaced to prevent the road from failing. The total cost
of the increase was $6,411.46.
d. In order to make the entrance to Terra Cotta Jr. High more
accessible to pedestrians, some design changes were required
and the short retaining walls were extended. The total cost
of the increase was $13,383.76.
e. since this is the final Change Order, various revisions were
made to the bid quantities to reflect actual field measured
totals. The total change was a decrease of $32,881.74.
