John Godwin, City Manager
FROM: Shawn Napier, P.E., Director of Engineering, Planning & Development
SUBJECT: CHANGE ORDER #1 WITH RICHARD DRAKE CONSTRUCTION CO.
DATE: 2-18-2013
BACKGROLTND: The City of Paris has been replacing sidewalks in downtown Paris over the
past few years with grant money from the state. The City of Paris proposed to replace sidewalks
on both sides of Bonham St. between 1 st St and 2nd St as well as a small area in front of the
YWCA on Lamar Ave. At the September 24, 2012 City Council meeting a grant application was
authorized to be submitted to the Texas Capital Fund Main Street program to replace sidewalks.
The City was not awarded the grant, but the Capital Improvement Program has given the City the
opportunity to fund this sidewalk replacement project.
STATUS OF ISSUE: This change order to the previously approved contract with Richard Drake
Construction Company is for adding two areas to the sidewalk replacement project and deleting
other areas from the approved contract. The small area in front of the YWCA on Lamar Ave.
has been added to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) contract and will therefore
be deleted from the City contract with Richard Drake Construction Company to fix a trip hazard
in front of the building. The ADA curb ramps at the northeast and southeast corners of Bonham
and 1 S` St. have already been replaced by TxDOT. These two curb ramp areas will also be
deleted from the contract. This will allow the city to add some additional sidewalks to the
project. The proposed sections of sidewalk and driveways to be added to the contract include
Grand Ave in front of the Salvation Army and a section on SW 7th St. between Bonham St. and
Grand Ave.
BUDGET: The original bid amount from Richard Drake Construction Company was
$130,705.85. The net change order amount will be an increase of approximately $30,000. The
exact amount, along with the change order document will be provided at the meeting. This
project will be funded from the Capital Improvement Program.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve change order #1 to the contract with Richard Drake
Construction Company.
