Body
BACKGROUND: On November 23, 2011, the City of Norman received a letter from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) informing the City of plans to perform construction on Highway 9 beginning just west of 24th Avenue SE and extending east along State Highway 9 for approximately 1.5 miles. In the letter, ODOT notified the City of its responsibility to relocate City utilities in advance of construction.
On November 13, 2012, the Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) approved Contract No. K-1213-119 in the amount of $47,000 with Cardinal Engineers for the design work for the Highway 9 Waterline Relocation Project.
On August 13, 2013, the NUA approved Contract No. K-1314-4 with Trent Construction, LLC in the amount of $309,978.92 for the construction of the Highway 9 Waterline Relocation project.
Funds were allocated for this project in Waterline Relocation, Construction (account 031-9727-462.61-01; project WA0191).
DESCRIPTION: Construction was completed on January 17, 2014. A final inspection was performed and construction was found to meet city standards. Final Change Order No. One decreases the contract amount from $309,978.92 to $299,005 for a decrease of $10,973.92. The decrease was due to adjustment of bid quantities to final quantities installed.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the NUA authorize the Chairman to sign Final Change Order No. One to Contract No. K-1314-4 with Trent Construction, LLC; accept the Highway 9 Waterline Relocation project; and authorize final payment in the amount of $15,615.25 to Trent Construction, LLC.
