BACKGROUND:
On June 1, 2021 the City Council awarded Contract 21-149, Moser Tower and Eagle Street Pedestrian Walkway Rehabilitation, to StruxC-MC LLC. Work on Moser Tower include concrete repairs, addressing corroded steel surfaces, painting all the steel and replacing the staircase inside the tower. The Eagle Street walkway include removal and replacement of a failing deck beam and the associated railing work.
On November 16, 2021 the City Council approved Change Order #1 granting an additional 190 days to the contract due to delays encountered with coordinating relocation of the cell phone carrier transmitters on the tower.
On February 2, 2022 the Chief Procurement Officer approved Change Order #2 to add $2,470.00 of contingency for additional material.
On May 13, 2022 the City Manager approved Change Order #3 to add $13,530.40 of contingency to support changes to the pre-cast panels.
On June 8, 2022 the City Council approved Change Order #4 granting an additional 140 days to the contract due to supply chain delays with needed pre-cast materials.
On June 17, 2022 the City Manager approved Change Order #5 to add $30,199.00 of contingency to pay for scaffolding design and implementation in support the cell phone carrier relocations, and changes to light pole removals and modified pier foundation design.
On July 13, 2022 the Chief Procurement Officer approved Change Order #6 to add $5,676.00 of contingency to pay for additional concrete overlay and transition for two areas on Entry Level 1 within the tower.
The current construction end date for the project is September 30, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
This change order is requested to pay for a substitute material to be used for the concrete flooring finish. The original product specified was a one-step application but was found not to provide adequate working time in order to correctly apply over the large and complicated areas of this project. The new material is a two-step application which requires additional labor forces to return after initial application. This increase in labor was not originally accounted for in the bid price for this item of work.
The amount of this change order, inclusive of previously approved changes, exceeds the original contract amount by $55,785.40. No additional time request is made.
This contract was approved with contingency in the amount of 3% ($62,764.56) of the original contract value and 29 days. Staff requests the use of contingency funds for the change order. A summary of the award and contingency information is provided in the tables below.
