Explanation
BACKGROUND:
1. Need. This project will create stormwater flood routing for the 100-year storm event and eliminate structural and roadway flooding issues along W. Broad St near the intersection of Eldon Ave. As part of the project, several deteriorated water mains will also be replaced along Steele Ave and Eureka Ave which will increase the level of service to the local residents and reduce the likelihood of water main failures.
Under this contract modification, the consultant will finalize the project plans for bidding and perform the duties required during construction which typically consist of the review and approval of all shop drawings, progress meeting attendance, conducting periodic field visits to ensure compliance with the design documents and completing record plans of the as-built conditions when the project is completed.
1.1. Amount of additional funds to be expended: $161,184.00
Original Contract Amount: $226,726.00
Modification #1 $278,123.40
Modification #2 (Current) $161,184.00
TOTAL Cost ($) $666,033.40
1.2. Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen:
Upon completing the storm sewer and water main designs for the new alignments, the Department of Public Service design requirements were altered to include full roadway reconstruction plans instead of our typical roadway restoration plans for Eureka due to the level of disturbance the project would create. This higher level of design required additional evaluation and design of curb ramps for ADA compliance within the corridor, sidewalk design, curb and centerline profile evaluations and the generation of more cross section sheets. This effort added an additional 33 plan sheets to the project; plans that weren’t previously anticipated. Due to the increased plan preparation requirements, we have exhausted the funds from modification #1 in order to complete the project plans. Therefore, in order for the consultant to conduct all of the items described ...
