SUBJECT
Title
Approve Contract Change Order No. 13 with Avison Construction extending the date of completion to July 6, 2022 for the Clovis Avenue Metro Trail - McKinley to Shields (Midtown Trail Segment 5) Project ID PW00764 (Council District 4)
Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve Contract Change Order No. 13 in the amount of $0.00 on behalf of the City of Fresno to Avison Construction to increase Contract Time by twenty-eight (28) working days.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of the change order is to allow the Contractor twenty-eight (28) additional working days due to the delay with material procurement for the Bollard Style Trail Lights that are identified on the construction drawings to be installed along the Clovis Avenue Metro Trail. The impact of this delay resulted in delaying the Contractor from completing the project and will not increase the Contract amount.
BACKGROUND
On June 10, 2021, a Contract was awarded in the amount of $1,482,760.00 to Avison Construction, for the Clovis Avenue Metro Trail - McKinley to Shields (Midtown Trail Segment 5). The Notice to Proceed was issued with a start date of February 14, 2022, and a Completion Date of May 09, 2022. There have been twelve (12) Contract Change Orders executed to date totaling $74,060.95, resulting in a Revised Contract Price of $1,556,820.95. There have been ten (10) days added to the Contract Time by executed Contract Change Orders and two (2) approved weather days resulting in a Revised Contract Completion Date of May 25, 2022.
The Bollard Style Trail Lights were approved and ordered in early December 2021 and received in late June 2022. The duration of the manufacturing, delivery, and procurement process was approximately seven (7) months which delayed the construction of the trail lighting system along the Clovis Trail and contributed to the delay in the overall completion of the project.
Contract Change Order No. 13 will add twenty-eight (28) working days to the Contract Time with no change to the Contract Price and will result in a revised Contract Completion date of July 6, 2022.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
On December 10, 2020, City Council adopted Amended and Restated Environmental Assessment No. P20-01778, a determination that the proposed project for the Mid-Town Trail qualifies for the streamlined analysis set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning) and dated December 10, 2020. A Notice of Exemption (NOE) was filed with the Fresno County Clerk on December 16, 2020.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implemented based on the conditions of the Federal CMAQ grant.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no impact to the General Fund or the project budget by extending the Contract Completion Date.
