The FYE 2013 and FYE 2014 locations are funded in Account No. 050-9385-431.61-01 as Project Nos. BP0353 and BP0239. The lowest bid, in the amount of $848,756.50, was submitted by RDNJ dba A-Tech Paving of Oklahoma City, OK. This bid was below the engineer’s estimate of $851,924.75 by $3,168.25 (0.37% percent). Council awarded the bid for FYE 2013 and 2014 Reconstruct Project on March 24, 2015.
DISCUSSION: The reconstruction of Mosier Street and Nebraska Street commenced on April 17, 2015. During the early stages of construction, it was determined that an existing public waterline was required to be relocated in order to properly construct the roadway. This work involved the relocation and replacement of 688 feet of waterline. As a result, six (6) new service lines were also added for a total additional cost of $35,126.75. The proposed Change Order No. 1 includes the additional expense for the relocated waterline.
All work was completed per the contract specifications. Final quantities and costs for the project are detailed in the Change Order Summary. If Change Order No. 1 is approved, the final total cost of this program is $883,530.50 or 4% above the original contract amount.
A-Tech Paving completed all work on December 31, 2015.
