Item Summary:
Throughout the construction of the Mimosa Boulevard Extension project, a number of field changes were made due to several factors: some involved unforeseen site conditions, some involved constructability interpretations between the designers and the contractor, and several were generated by the City during construction to deliver a better final product. The supplemental overruns included: raising the profile grade of Mimosa to save two (2) large oak trees, adding additional storm structures and pipe to adequately drain storm water from the bank's parking lot, changing from regular paint to thermoplastic paint along Mimosa Boulevard to improve visibility and last longer, and lastly the construction of driveway aprons for an impacted property owner.
This change order increases the contract from $481,069.60 to $532,493.71. This amount exceeds the previously budgeted amount by $8,165.17.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On August 19, 2009 the Community Development & Transportation Committee recommended placing this Item on the September 9, 2009 Mayor and Council Agenda.
