Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT WITH ND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. FOR CITYWIDE BUS STOP IMPROVEMENTS, AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 23-056, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CARSON CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 BUDGET IN THE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES PROPOSITION C FUND FOR ADDITIONAL WORK RELATING TO CITYWIDE BUS STOP IMPROVEMENTS" (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The City owns and maintains benches, trash receptacles, and shelters to accommodate passengers at its bus stops. Due to constant exposure to outdoor elements, such fixtures require replacement over time. On August 9, 2022, the City entered into an agreement with ND Construction Company, Inc. (ND) for removal and installation of new fixtures. Shortly upon taking delivery of new fixtures, the project commenced in November, but an exceptionally wet winter season prohibited construction work for extended periods.
Staff encountered another delay when it was discovered that shelter installations would require replacements of entire sidewalk panels, as opposed to individual cut-outs for footings (Exhibit No. 1; "ND Letter"). The additional work adds an approximate cost of $175,000 to the project and extends the anticipated completion date to May 31, 2023.
To complete the additional work, staff is requesting approval of Amendment No. 1 to the agreement, authorizing an increase of $175,000 to the current contract sum of $535,272, making the new not-to-exceed contract sum $710,272 (Exhibit No. 2; "Amendment").
