Backqround
City Council had identified the I-15/SR-74 interchange as a priority for Staff to process a
project which will reduce traffic congestion in that area. The Fiscal Year budget for the
2008/09 Capital Improvement Program identified $4,955,156 in funding to facilitate
these improvements. The work included widening the freeway on and off ramps,
widening Central Avenue from Collier Avenue to Dexter Avenue.
Discussion
On August 26, 2008 City Council approved the award of contract to Ortiz Enterprises
Inc. Construction is ninety-five percent complete with the following work remaining:
striping, minor grading, traffic signal adjustments and project area cleanup. A number of
change orders were needed to correct construction issues resulting from field
conditions. Total approved project budget is $4,955,156. This budget included
preparation of plans, specifications, construction contract, inspections, surveying, soil
testing, project administration and construction contingency. The sum of $450,000 was
set aside for contingencies. There are currently change orders in the total sum of
$187,133 for additional traffic control, additional grading, construction of concrete
drainage structures, modifications to traffic signal system and paving part of Dexter
Avenue to replace failed pavement. Staff will be presenting a summary of change
orders at the conclusion of the project.
Fiscal Impacts
$450,000 in contingency funds was accounted for within the original project budget.
There are no additional fiscal impacts above the originally approved budget.
