RECOMMENDED ACTION
Increase the contingency for the contract with Powell Constructors, Inc., for the construction of
the First Street bridge replacement over the Santa Ana River by $602,605 to a total estimated
contract amount of $7,815,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders in an
amount not to exceed the authorized contingency.
DISCUSSION
On March 21, 2011, the City Council awarded a contract for the First Street bridge replacement
over the Santa Ana River to Powell Constructors, Inc. in the amount of $6,010,329, plus a
contingency of $1,202,066 totaling $7,212,395. Unforeseen field conditions associated with the
installation of the foundation and bridge deck structure, and unanticipated utility relocations have
prompted additional work that was not part of the original scope of the project.
The project is 40 percent complete; however, 95 percent of the original contingency amount is
exhausted. To avoid a possible delay in completing the project, staff recommends that the
contingency be increased by $602,605. Any contingency amount not used will remain in the
project fund.
