Title
FINAL ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT OF CONTRACT K-2021-7: BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, AND RUDY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR THE ALLEY RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, MACY STREET TO EMELYN STREET.
Body
BACKGROUND: Residents along the alley located one block east of Classen Boulevard between Macy Street and Emelyn Street experienced drainage problems due to stormwater runoff flowing west from the adjacent alley. In addition to the drainage problems, the alley was in poor condition. Most of the asphalt paving was broken apart leaving a mix of broken asphalt and gravel. Based on staff’s analysis, it was necessary to reconstruct the alley in order to address both the drainage and paving problems.
On July 14, 2020, City Council awarded the Alley Reconstruction Project, Macy Street to Emelyn Street (Contract K-2021-7) to Rudy Construction Company of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in the amount of $73,422.50. The Engineer’s Estimate for the project was $81,982.50.
On September 30, 2020, the City Manager approved Change Order No. 1 increasing Contract K-2021-7 by $6,883.03 for a revised contract amount of $80,305.53.
