Title
South Transit Facility Refurbishment Construction Administration and Inspection Services Change Order - PT03130001 (Ordinance S-44008)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a change order to Contract 137863 with Gannett Fleming, Inc. (Phoenix) to increase the contract value to provide continued construction administration and inspection services in support of the South Transit Facility Refurbishment project. Further request authorization for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. This change order will increase the contract by $329,045 for a new contract value of $1,565,089, including all subconsultants and reimbursable costs. The additional contract services are necessary to address several unforeseen issues with this project, including addressing contaminated soil associated with underground storage tanks requiring compliance with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality contamination assessment protocol, numerous underground fire line and water line pipe breaks, deteriorated sewer lines that once unearthed had to be replaced, and unstable subgrade in excavated areas requiring unplanned design and construction work.
