Title
Authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Order #1 with Cash Construction Co, Inc. for additional Kelly Lane widening roadway and utility improvements in the amount of $56,098.70.
 
Summary
The Kelly Lane construction contract was executed on November 13, 2013 and construction is currently ongoing.  The base bid scope of improvements has an anticipated completion date of November, 2014.  Funding of the Kelly Lane CIP project is from certificates of obligation bonds issued for street improvements.
 
Included in Change Order #1 are additional quantities needed due to utility conflicts which have occurred during construction.  Construction crews have come into contact with utilities not on record with either City files or private utility companies and subsequently have had to design and construct around them.  Additionally, staff has implemented a revised method at the intersections to provide for a quicker construction time given the material uncovered as part of the excavation.  Additional quantities for this revised method are needed and the City will receive a credit for previous items not intended to be used. Lastly, additional signage and equipment is needed for modification of the existing traffic lights, school flashers and proposed temporary traffic control based on items identified during the initial aspects of construction.  
 
The change order adds $56,098.70 to the total amount of the construction contract, and nine additional days.
