BACKGROUND On May 17, 2016, Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Ghilotti Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $7,256,150.75. In addition, the City Council awarded contracts to Carlson Management, Inc., Kimley-Horn and Associates and Geocon Consultants to provide construction support services. DISCUSSION Stanley Boulevard, from Main Street to First Street, was reconstructed. The work included undergrounding the above -ground utilities, extending the sewer line, installing new water and sewer connections, installing a storm drain system, installing new curb, gutter, and sidewalks, and reconstructing the roadway from the subgrade up. The project included limited drought -tolerant planting and the extension of downtown street lighting. The project was completed with limited impacts to school traffic and extensive work with the impacted residents and businesses. Budget Project expenditures total $8,808,347, which includes the construction contract, change orders and consultant support services as outlined in Attachment 1. The final construction contract cost is $7,259,299.43. This a net change order increase of $3,148.68 compared to the original award amount of $7,256,150.75. However, there were many change orders on the project, both additive and deductive to the contract resulting in final change order total increase of $3,148.68. The majority of the additive change orders were associated with sewer, water and storm drain changes required because of conflicts with existing utilities, utility companies requested changes regarding how services were provided to properties along the street, and delays from PG&E's gas main abandonment (reimbursed by PG&E). The major deductive change order reduced the contract amount because several line item quantities actually constructed were Tess than the estimated quantities on which the bid was based. Carlson Management, Inc. (CMI) was awarded a contract for $454,983 to provide a part time construction manager and a full time inspector. The inspection services are complete; however, CMI continues to work on final punch list assistance and record drawing review. CMI will aide city staff in completion of the digital record drawings. As of now, CMI has expended $446,445. To complete the remaining project closeout items, it is anticipated that CMI will bill an additional $2,000. Staff recommends leaving $2,000 in the project balance in order to pay for the remaining invoice(s). Upon payment of the final invoice, if there are remaining funds they will be transferred to the fund balance. Geocon was authorized under the on-call contract for $64,700 to provide geotechnical testing and observation during construction operations. The work under the task authorization is complete and Geocon has invoiced $16,574. The contractor expedited the underground work which required much fewer than anticipated visits to the site thereby significantly reducing the costs for inspections. Kimley-Horn and Associates' contract was amended to include an additional $198,300 to provide bid and construction support services. The City opted to self -perform some of Page 2 of 3
