SUBJECT: /' 41 \. ~ City Council Staff Report September 19, 2006 Public Works Department AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A CHANGE ORDER TO HSR GENERAL CONTRACTORS INC. FOR IMPORT OF FILL MATERIAL FOR THE FUTURE BERNAL PARK SITE STAFF RECOMMENDATION: SUMMARY: SR 06:229 Page I of3 Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action at the meeting of September 19, 2006: 1. Authorize the Director of Public Works to execute a change order with HSR General Engineering Contractors Inc. of Santa Clara, California, in the amount of $105,000 for import soil for the future Bernal Park site. 2. Authorize the transfer of funds from Bernal Park, Project CIP No. 007065, to the Bernal Creek Restoration Project, CIP No. 037049, in the amount of $105,000. As part of the future Bernal Community Park Sports Fields project, fIll material (soil) will need to be imported to raise the site per the approved concept plans. Typically, the cost of transporting and placement of fIll material is in the order of $10 to $15 per cubic yard for moderately sized earth-moving projects where fIll material must be imported to the site. Staff had requested a quote from HSR Inc. to off-haul and place fIll at the future park site as part of their ongoing work with the Bernal Creek Restoration Project, which is currently under construction and in close proximity to the Park site. HSR Inc. has quoted a price of $3.00 per cubic yard for the transport and placement of 35,000 cubic yards of uncompacted fIll, which provides for a potential cost savings of $245,000 for the Park project. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the above-requested transfer of funds and a change order with HSR Inc. in the amount of $105,000.
