CHANGE ORDER NO. TWO TO CONTRACT K-1617-91: BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, AND RDNJ, L.L.C., D/B/A A-TECH PAVING, DECREASING THE CONTRACT AMOUNT BY $41,435.67 FOR A REVISED CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $561,869.15 FOR THE 2010 BOND ROAD RECONSTRUCTION; IOWA STREET, PHASE IC AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE PROJECT.
Body
BACKGROUND: In the Norman General Obligation Bond Election of March 2, 2010, voters approved a 5-year, 4-phase program of street maintenance on neighborhood streets. The 2010 Street Maintenance Bond Program includes four categories as follows:
* Urban Asphalt Street Maintenance
* Urban Concrete Street Maintenance
* Rural Road Maintenance
* Urban Street Reconstruction
The final two projects in the "Urban Street Reconstruction" category required outside engineering design services due to the complexity of the stormwater drainage improvements. Those two projects involved eleven (11) residential blocks of total street reconstruction on Dakota and Iowa Streets. The proposed projects were split into phases as follows:
Phase I - Iowa Street- Berry Road to Pickard Avenue;
Phase II - Dakota Street- Berry Road to Flood Avenue;
Phase III - Dakota and Iowa Streets- Flood Avenue to University Boulevard
Each project was further divided into three (3) parts as follows:
Part A: Service utilities - performed by City of Norman Utilities Department;
Part B: Asphalt pavement & stormwater system - performed by City of Norman Public Works Department
Part C: Concrete pavement, curb and gutter and driveways - performed by Contractor
It was anticipated that this approach would provide significant cost savings and expedite the project.
