Jn May 27, 2014 City Council awarded a construction contract to Select Electric, Inc. in
the amount of $201,481 with a construction contingency of $13,635 for the construction
of the Traffic Signal Improvements at Summerhill Drive / Via Scenica.
Discussion
During the course of constructing the traffic signal improvements, the contractor
encountered unforeseen conditions in the form of bedrock under the ground. This
bedrock will require special drilling equipment be brought in to address this condition and
additional work will be required to clean lap and prepare the site for final traffic signal
installation.
It is currently estimated that the bedrock removal will result in change orders in the range
of $60,000 to $75,000. The additional contingency is recommended to ensure the timely
completion of the project.
