VERNON AVENUE STREET IMPROVEMENTS AND LANDSCAPE MEDIANS PROJECT DATE: JANUARY 9, 2003 BACKGROUND: On March 26, 2002, City Council awarded the Contract in the amount of $ 698,600.00 to Terra -Cal Construction Inc. for the Mt. Vernon Avenue Street Improvements and Landscape Medians Project. During construction, it was determined that most of the existing sidewalk on the East and West Side of Mt. Vernon Avenue was in need of removal and replacement, hence additional concrete sidewalk, commercial driveway, A.C. pavement, sewer lateral repairs, mobilization and traffic control along Mt. Vernon Avenue were added to the Project. Additional cost of sewer lateral repairs and removal of driveways are due to existing utilities in conflict with the proposed electrical conduit. The total estimate for these removal and repairs, as submitted by the contractor at the request of the City is $92,980.57. This represents 13 % of the contract price. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The Contractor has completed the work on the sidewalks and handicap ramps as specified in the Contract. City staff held a meeting with the Contractor to discuss the proposed changes. The proposed Change Order, mutually agreed upon by the Engineering Department and the Contractor, were drafted as a result of said meeting. The Change Order number 2 is for an amount of $69,005.37 and Change Order number 3 is for an amount of $23,975.20. The total of Change Order numbers 2 and 3 are $92,980.57. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The public improvements constructed by this project are Exempt under section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
