11 THE CITY OF nus P-LEASANTON. � CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT May 17, 2022 Engineering TITLE: ALLOCATE AN ADDITIONAL $210,000 TO THE TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR PARKING LOT PROJECT, CIP NO. 17448, TO INCREASE THE PROJECT CONTINGENCY, FUND THE CIVIC PARK IMPROVEMENTS AND APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENTS WITH HMH ENGINEERS AND PAKPOUR CONSULTING GROUP FOR ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES SUMMARY On April 20, 2021, City Council awarded a construction contract to GradeTech, Inc. for the Transportation Corridor Parking Lot, CIP No. 17448, as well as amendments to agreements with Pakpour Consulting Group, Inc. (Pakpour) and the project designer, HMH Engineers (HMH), for construction support services. The project is currently under construction, replacing the existing 60 -stall gravel parking lot in the transportation corridor between Bernal Avenue and Abbie Street with a 139 -stall paved parking lot and a ten -foot -wide multiuse concrete path. The availability of the contractor staffing and issues with material supply both related to the pandemic, as well as several complications with unforeseen conditions encountered during construction, have delayed the project and caused the need for additional design and construction support services. Also, during the construction several trees in Civic Park were removed due to disease; however, the removal of the trees caused significant damage to the park's irrigation system and surface improvements. As the park is immediately adjacent to the project, the City Manager requested that the restoration of Civic Park be included in the project. The agenda report discusses contract change orders that have been executed to date, as well as the estimated cost of change orders still under negotiation. The report also includes a discussion of required additional professional services with the recommendation that City Council approve two amendments to the professional services agreements. The described construction contract change orders and needed amendments have depleted the project contingency of $329,152 previously approved by City Council. To complete the estimated $110,000 Civic Park restoration and to replenish the contingency to ensure funding is available for any future change orders (should they be required) while the remaining work is completed, staff recommends an additional $210,000 be allocated to the project. RECOMMENDATION 1. Allocate $210,000 from the Miscellaneous CIP —General Fund (Fund 201) to the Transportation Corridor Parking Lot Project, CIP No. 17448.
