PROJECT NO. CIP 97-182 MYRTLE AVENUE UNDERGROUND UTILITY
DISTRICT – APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER NO. 10 – GRINDING
AND REPAVING OF PALM DRIVE FROM 24TH STREET TO 26TH STREET

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council:

• 1. Approve the attached Contract Change Order No. 10 for the grinding and repaving of Palm Drive from 24th Street to 26th Street; and

• 2. Authorize the following budget transfer:

 

ACCOUNT AMOUNT

• From: CIP 8143, Monterey Blvd. - 19th St. to Hermosa Ave. -- $21,263.00
• To: CIP 8182, Myrtle Ave. Utility Undergrounding -- $21,263.00

 

Summary:

During the patching of pavement on Palm Drive from 24th Street to 25th Street following the substructure work, it was determined that the existing pavement had deteriorated to the point that just patching it would lead to further deterioration of the roadway.  In addition, the ride quality of the roadway would be unacceptable to the community and the roadway would be potentially hazardous.

 

Background:

The project objective is to convert overhead utilities to underground services in the indicated areas of the above referenced subject matter. Irish Construction Company is contracted to install mainline conduits, vaults, pull boxes, hand-holes and conduit laterals to the property lines of the residents within the area. Residents are responsible for conduit installation from property line to their own power meters plus any modifications required by Edison Company such as service point relocations or meter changes. Upon completion of residents’ tie-ins to the underground system, the utility company will pull conductors to property lines for service connections. The final portion of work will be the removal of utility poles and installation of new light poles.

 

Analysis:

The Change Order work consists of grinding off 1 inch of pavement to create a level plane. The next step will be to place a 1-inch layer of asphalt over the leveled surface. This work will prevent further deterioration and improve the ride quality of the roadway.

The cost of this Change Order work is $19,330.00. Since this level of restoration of the existing pavement is beyond the Scope of Work of the Underground Utility District, Staff is recommending that this work be paid for out of the 301 Capital Improvement CIP Fund.

 

Fiscal Impact:

Unused CIP funds are available in Project No. CIP 99-143, Monterey Blvd. - 19th St. to Hermosa Ave., which was completed in March of this year, therefore, Council needs only to approve the transfer of the unused, appropriated funds as follows:

 

ACCOUNT AMOUNT

• From: CIP 8143, Monterey Blvd. - 19th St. to Hermosa Ave. $21,263.00

• To: CIP 8182, Myrtle Ave. Utility Undergrounding $21,263.00

 

This will cover the cost of Contract Change Order No. 10 plus a 10% contingency.
