D. REGULAR AGENDA:
1. Approve Change Order #2 for the Solano Street Improvement Project for the 5TH
and 6TH Street/Solano Street Intersections.
Public Works Consultant Robin Kampmann presented the Staff Report requesting approval of
Change Order #2 in the amount of $178,541.94 for Walberg, Inc. and $37,027 for Psomas
Inspectors for the Solano Street Improvement Project.
She explained that the Change Order for the full depth reclamation at the 5th and 6th Street
intersections as reflected in the cost breakdown of Change Order costs attached to the staff
report. She further explained that the costs were broken into agreed upon items that are primarily
credits for the change in work type or unit costs that were already established. Then there are
the items to proceed at “Force Account” not to exceed, these items have higher costs estimated
by the Contractor due to their risk and the unknowns that have been established during the
construction of the 4th Street intersection.
If we approve a not to exceed cost and then have them bill at “Force Account”, it will allow the
City to only pay for the time and materials used and not the lump sum price provided by the
Contractor but will also provide the Contractor some coverage for the risk and unknown conditions
that they may encounter. She explained that since we are proposing to use “Force Account” it
will increase the time that Psomas Inspectors will need to be on the site to monitor and record
times, equipment, and materials.
Councilor Demo moved to approve Change Order No. 2 in the amount not to exceed $178,541.94
for Walberg, Inc. and $37,027 for Psomas for the Solano Street Improvement Project, 5th and 6th
Street/Solano Street Improvements. Councilor Burnett seconded the motion. Ayes: Snow,
Demo, Burnett, and Hargens. Absent: Valerio. Abstain/Opposed: None. Approved by a
4-0 vote with Valerio absent.
E. ADJOURNMENT: 4:50 P.M.
