In the process of construction, it was determined that where the new roadway ends at the south <br />end of the CEFCO Approach, too steep of an approach tie-in would be needed to match the existing <br />uneven asphalt street. The future plan is to be able to rebuild 7th SW further to the south in future <br />years, and variable slope concrete road where it tied into the old road (roughly a 7%-10% cross <br />slope instead of a 2% like the new road), would require extensive concrete removal of the new <br />road at that time. This Change order will build an asphalt tie-in for 20 feet back to the south so <br />that the transition is smoother and there won't be a large steep bump for cars. <br />Also included is some additional structural material for off tracking where trucks turn off the loop <br />onto the new concrete street. The use of recycled concrete material inside the turning radius will <br />help prevent errant trucks from getting stuck if they unintentionally off track while turning. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: <br />The Project is finished other than these items if a change order is approved. There is a temporary <br />gravel transition at the south part of the project. <br />BUDGET: <br />The total price for this change order would be $21,500. City Share $10,750. <br />The project is being split 50150 with CEFCO, and the city share was paid for with remaining <br />funding from the 2017 and 2018 GO Bonds. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Grant approval for the City Manager to sign Change Order #1 with Wheeler Construction <br />for modification of the 7t" Street SW contract to perform the additional work as described. <br />2. Deny approval for the City Manager to sign Change Order #1 with Wheeler Construction <br />for modification of the 7"' Street SW contract to perform the additional work as described. <br />3. Request additional information regarding this issue and bring forth to a future meeting of <br />the city council. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Grant approval for the City Manager to sign Change Order 41 with Wheeler Construction <br />for modification of the 7th Street SW contract to perform the additional work as described. <br />
