FILE NUMBER
Increase the contingency for the contract with Hillcrest Contracting Inc. for the construction of
the Bristol-Warner Intersection Widening Project by $30,000 to a total estimated contract
amount of $1,617,091 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 Bristol-Warner Intersection
Widening Project to Hillcrest Contracting Inc. in the estimated amount of $1,215,538 plus a
10 percent contingency of $121,553 totaling $1,337,091.
On February 21, 2012, the City Council approved increasing the contingency by $250,000. The
major changes that had expended the original contingency were: the replacement of 120 feet of 24-
inch corroded storm drain pipe, the relocation and resizing of a precast concrete vault, and the
relocation of an existing Metropolitan Water District metering station. The project is currently 98
percent complete with 99 percent of the contingency exhausted.
Due to delays caused by Southern California Edison in relocating their high-voltage transmission
poles, the contractor was forced to perform construction operations in multiple stages and install
additional safety measures outside of those shown in the contract documents. These safety
measures and multiple mobilizations have an estimated cost of $30,000.
With the outstanding changes and the unforeseen conditions that are associated with
construction of a street widening project and underground utility work, staff recommends
increasing the contingency by an additional $30,000.
