REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />JANUARY 17, 2012 <br />TITLE: APPROVED <br />CONTINGENCY INCREASE FOR ❑ As Recommended <br />FIRST STREET BRIDGE ❑ As Amended <br />R El El on 151 Reading <br />REPLACEMENT OVER THE SANTA <br />❑ Ordinance on 2 "d Reading <br />ANA RIVER (PROJECT NO. 061723) ❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Increase the contingency for the contract with Powell Constructors, Inc., for the construction of <br />the First Street bridge replacement over the Santa Ana River by $602,605 to a total estimated <br />contract amount of $7,815,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders in an <br />amount not to exceed the authorized contingency. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On March 21, 2011, the City Council awarded a contract for the First Street bridge replacement <br />over the Santa Ana River to Powell Constructors, Inc. in the amount of $6,010,329, plus a <br />contingency of $1,202,066 totaling $7,212,395. Unforeseen field conditions associated with the <br />installation of the foundation and bridge deck structure, and unanticipated utility relocations have <br />prompted additional work that was not part of the original scope of the project. <br />The project is 40 percent complete; however, 95 percent of the original contingency amount is <br />exhausted. To avoid a possible delay in completing the project, staff recommends that the <br />contingency be increased by $602,605. Any contingency amount not used will remain in the <br />project fund. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />This is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />23A -1 <br />
