Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the construction contract with Lithko Restoration Technologies LLC for the 910 Dublin Road - Pedestrian Bridge Project, for the Division of Water.
The original project scope consisted of repairing of certain elements of the pedestrian bridge at the entrance to the Utilities Complex building at 910 Dublin Road. The work included repair to the steel support beam, bridge deck concrete, and surface coating. The original scope was strictly maintenance work with the intent that the work be performed in the fall of 2012 prior to the exposed bridge being subjected to winter weather conditions.
Due to the early and extreme weather conditions in the winter of 2012/2013, the bridge experienced additional deterioration. When the contractor began to perform the work in the spring of 2013 the condition was considerably worse than originally anticipated. With input from the professional structural engineering consultant a revised scope of work was prepared that includes more extensive demolition / removal / reconstruction of a portion of the concrete bridge deck and concrete masonry unit walls, coating of the entire bridge deck and walls, and forming and pouring new concrete wall caps.
This current proposed contract modification (No. 1) will perform this revised scope of work. As this work is now demolition and reconstruction work anticipated to last more than 20 years it will be funded with Capital funds. No future phasing of the work is anticipated.
