ITEM TITLE:
Resolution /OP')...p.pproving Change Order No.2, Daley
Corporation, Third Avenue, "G" to "K" Street
SUBMITTED BY:
City Engineer
CfII/
(4/5ths Vote: Yes___ No~)
Daley Corporation was awarded the contract, dated December 8,
1980, for the construction of Third Avenue Improvements from "G"
to "K" Streets. The contract does not provide for the removal of
underground obstructions not shown on the plans. The State
Standard Specifications provide for payment of such work as
"Extra Work at Force Account". We have estimated that the
un fo reseen reno\T al of underg round obstruc ti Dns could amoun t to
$3000.00 of extra work for the entire project. It is my
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve Change Order No.2 in the
amount of $3000.00 for "Extra Work at Force Account" for the
removal of unforeseen underground obstructions, and authorize the
City Engineer to execute said change order.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Within the first 1/4 mile of the project (Third Avenue, "G" to
"B"), the contractor, Daley Corporation, has uncovered several
abandoned concrete structures (abandoned light standard
foundation, abandoned curb inlet) beneath the existing pavement.
The obstructions when encountered must be removed before the
contractor can proceed with the construction of the new pavement
section. The removal of these obstructions are not included in
the plans and special provisions of the contract because staff
had no knowledge of their existence at the time the project was
bid.
The standard specifications for this contract do say that the
payment for removal of these obstructions can be made as "Force
Account Work". If the frequency of uncovering buried
obstructions remains the same throughout the entire project as
has occurred during the first 1/4 mile, staff estimates that the
cost of "Force Account Work" to remove these obstructions
throughout the project will be approximately $3000.
I am requesting that the City Council approve a contract change
order in the amount of $3,000 for "Force Account Work" to be used
for the removal of unforeseen obstructions within the project
area.

City Council Policy 800-03, adopted by Resolution 6716,
authorizes the City Engineer to approve change orders up to
$1,000 which either increase or decrease the contract. This
change order in accordance with Council policy requires City
Council approval because it exceeds the $1000 limitation.
The cost of removing the obstructions between "G" and "H" Streets
is $425. The $3,000 authorized by the change order for "Force
Account Work" will only be expended as obstructions are
encountered.
There are sufficient funds on deposit with the State to cover the
cost of this change order. A major portion of the cost for
removing obstructions will be reimbursed with F.A.U. funds.
