H"TER <br />E N G I N E E R I N G <br />Charles Edwards <br />Resource Management & Consulting Co. <br />3727 Lamar Avenue <br />Paris, Texas 75460 <br />RE: North Main Street & Houston Street Sidewalk Improvements <br />HEI Job No.: 180076; TDA No.: 7218152 <br />Mr. Edwards: <br />November 16, 2020 <br />This letter is in regard to Change Order Number 2 for the above referenced job. During TDLR inspection, <br />the TDLR inspector instructed the City to add safety railing on the building side along all ramps. This <br />change order includes the addition of 23 LF of safety railing to be added on building side at a cost of <br />$3,450.00, which matches the bid schedule price of $150/LF (Bid Schedule Item #21 New Type B <br />Handrails). <br />The change order also includes the addition of a continuous rail at 36" height to comply with TDLR ADA <br />requirements. This 36" continuous rail shall be added to both sides on all ramps for a total of 47 LF. The <br />contractor provided the following unit price for the 36" rail: <br />• Additional 36" rail added to the safety railing - $168.32/LF <br />The material pricing provided by the Contractor is $75.45/LF (attached) and the installation price provided <br />is $92.87/LF. It is not unreasonable to see the price for installation to be slightly higher than the material <br />cost. This cost was compared to another project bid price from November 2017 requiring the addition of <br />continuous rails to the ramps. The project had 7 bidders, with the average bid price of $154.85/LF. If an <br />inflation of 2% is considered for a period of 3 years, the price for the continuous rail will be around $164.32. <br />Based on this, we think the price provided by the contractor is reasonable. <br />Due to the reasonableness of the prices for this work and the fact that adding the new safety railing on the <br />building side and 36"continous rails would make the ramps ADA compliant, I recommend that this change <br />order be approved. <br />Sincerely, <br />HAYTER ENGINEERING, INC. <br />r i�"'° `�✓"fie ,������f tk <br />........................ <br />,s. <br />0( 6RISTOPHER M.
