BACKGROUND:
On June 2, 2020, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Nationwide for the Citywide Parkway Project - Maintenance Zones 6 and 7.
The City conducts an annual capital improvement program repairing, improving, and installing existing and new concrete parkway infrastructure. The scope of work for the Citywide Parkway Project (“Project”) consists of localized reconstruction of curb and gutter, cross gutters and spandrels, sidewalks, driveway approaches, accessible ramps, new concrete sidewalks, and other work needed to complete the Project in accordance with the project specifications.
Concrete improvements located within the City’s parkways and streets require ongoing repair and maintenance due to age, maturing trees, soil conditions, water intrusion, and traffic loads.
The parkway improvements are citywide, but the project focused on Maintenance Zones 6 and 7, which comprise of the City’s Westside neighborhoods, south of West 19th Street and west of Newport Boulevard.
In addition, new sidewalks were installed along Mesa Drive between Orange Avenue and Club Mesa Place; along Charle Street between Bernard Street and Hamilton Street; and along Bernard Street between Maple Avenue and Harbor Boulevard.
ANALYSIS:
The work required by the contract documents was completed on August 1, 2022 to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The final contract cost amounted to $3,532,547. A report of the final costs is included as Attachment 1.
A summary of the costs is as follows:
Original Contract Amount: $3,342,325
Quantity Adjustments: $ 190,222
Final Contract Cost: $3,532,547
The final contract cost reflects a 5.7% increase to the original contract amount. The increase is attributable to the driveway repair work at Fire Station No. 4 and added parkway work along Bernard Street, Charle Street, Redwood Avenue, Sandalwood Street, Wake Forest Road, and West 18th Street.
As of this date, there are no Stop Notices filed against the monies due to Nationwide.
