RECOMMENDED ACTION
Increase the contingency for the contract with R.J. Noble Company for Residential Street Repair,
Phase 16, by $500,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders in an amount
not to exceed the authorized contingency.
DISCUSSION
On March 5, 2012, the City Council awarded a contract to R.J. Noble Company in the estimated
amount of $2,633,564 for Residential Street Repair, Phase 16. During construction and while
removing the existing pavement, the contractor encountered areas where the street sections
were thicker than expected as well as a wet and unstable sub-grade. To ensure the integrity of
the new pavement, the excess water needs to be removed from the sub-grade. This process
requires additional excavation, which is greater than the amount specified in the contract, and
also strengthening the sub-grade with a cement-treated soil. Since the additional work was not
included in the original contract amount, staff is requesting an additional contingency amount of
$500,000 to pay for the work.
FISCAL IMPACT
The contingency increase is $500,000 for the project. Funds are available in the Community
Development Block Grant Fund (accounting unit 13518783-66220).
