The Farrington Boulevard Utility <br />Relocation project was designed and bid by city staff with the understanding that only the <br />portion of the water main crossovers to be abandoned with this relocation project that is in direct <br />conflict with the proposed Harris County storm sewer would be removed. The City has since <br />been advised (on March 25th) that the federal grant requirements were established such that the <br />entire length of the existing asbestos concrete pipe would be removed from the roadway area. <br />This is a change to the scope of the project as bid by the apparent lowest and best bidder, Paskey, <br />Incorporated. Paskey, Incorporated submitted a change order document in the amount of <br />$67,770.50 for Paskey to complete this work necessary to fully comply with the federal grant <br />requirements. <br />The change order amount is at or below the cost increase that was anticipated by staff. Staff <br />recommends approval of the change order necessary for the complete removal of the asbestos <br />concrete pipe water mains that are located within the roadway limits. With this change order, the <br />total Farrington Boulevard Utility Relocation project funding authorized by City Council is <br />$646,086.72, which is an increase of $67,770.50. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval or other action authorizing the City manager to execute a $67,770.50 change <br />order proposal submitted by Paskey, Incorporated for the removal of the existing asbestos concrete <br />pipe water main from the Farrington Boulevard roadway limits. <br />Anaroved for City Council Asenda <br />Corby D.
