body
DEPARTMENT: Department of Public Works
SUBMITTED BY: Richard Dublinski, Director
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works (DPW) maintains approximately 500 centerline miles of pavement, which requires the use of hot mix asphalt (HMA) to perform day-to-day maintenance and emergency repairs by DPW crews. HMA is also used as part of the Alley Improvement Program (CIP SC-223). The HMA is required to comply with the latest edition of the State of Illinois Standard Specifications for hot mix asphalt material.
The City Council awarded Contract 19-153 on May 7, 2019 for a one-year term from May 7, 2019 to April 30, 2020.
DISCUSSION:
This change order is requested to provide additional funding for the repaving of the commuter parking lot at Water Tower West following the demolition of the building. Staff had estimated $75,000 would be needed for this project in the original award amount, but due to the condition of the site and needed adjustments for proper drainage, the total cost to pave this lot was approximately $93,000. Due to savings on other paving projects, an additional $9,980 is needed to cover the expense for the Water Tower West parking lot.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP #: N/A
Hot Mix Asphalt for repaving the lot at Water Tower West is expensed to the operating supplies account listed below. While no dollars were originally budgeted for this project, there are revenues being generated in the Commuter Fund through the new daily fee parking spaces.
