The contract, in the amount <br />of $37,435.79consistsof cutting the side slopes to a minimum of 3.5:1 and placing concrete slope <br />pavement in areas where the minimum side slope is not possible. <br />Change Order Number One,in the amount of $4,929.35 was previously issuedto remove existing <br />concrete slope pavement, break up the concrete slope pavement and place the broken concrete pavement <br />on the re-shaped slopes. This scope of work was not included in the original contract,but was deemed <br />necessary to provide a continuous side slope along the ditch. <br />Issuance of the contract and first change order did not require CityCouncil approval since the contract <br />amount wasless than $50,000.00 and change order number one was less than $5,000.00. <br />After cutting the slopes and before placing the concrete slope pavement in areas where the side slope was <br />less than 3.5:1, the slopes failed. These failures were inspected by the Geotechnical Engineerwho <br />recommended re-establishing the side slopes by compacting the soil prior to placing the concrete slope <br />pavement. Since this work is not within the scope of services, the contractor was asked to submit a <br />proposal for thework. Staff has prepared Change Order Number Two in the amount of $4,425.50,which <br />requires City Council approval because the cumulative change order amount is $9,354.49. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />Action Required by Council: <br />rd <br />Authorize the City Manager to approve Change Order Number Twoin the amount of $4,425.50, for the 3 <br />Street Side Slope Stabilization Project. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />___________________________________________________________ <br />Corby D.Alexander,City ManagerDate <br /> <br />
