Report
Summary
The work included in this portion of the Grand Canalscape pedestrian and bicycle pathway project includes: construction of a 10-foot wide concrete pathway with new lighting, landscape and irrigation, and site furnishings such as seating nodes and gabion trail markers; installation of two pedestrian bridges - one at the 36th Street alignment and one east of 44th Street to connect the new pathway to the Pueblo Grande Museum; installation of traffic signals; and other related additional work required to complete this project.
The major component of this change order is to complete fabrication and installation of the two new additional pedestrian bridges that had not been included in the original contract: at the Creighton School and the Sky Harbor International Airport Sky Train. This project is federally funded, and the Federal Highway Administration granted the project team permission to utilize project savings to design and construct these two additional bridges and additional neighborhood connections to take full advantage of $10.5 million in Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) funds awarded to the City of Phoenix.
Combs Construction Company, Inc.’s additional services include, but are not limited to: fabricating and installing the Creighton and Sky Harbor International Airport's Sky Train pedestrian bridges and constructing neighborhood connections including sidewalk, pedestrian lighting, landscape, irrigation and seating nodes.
