body
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Change Order No. 1 for COF Contract No. 2018-0252 for an increase in contract amount of $221,095.20 and for a time extension of 19 days.
Background
On March 12, 2019, the BOMA approved a contract with Tennessee Valley Paving Co., Inc. for the reconstruction of the tennis courts at Jim Warren Park. During construction, it was found that the subgrade material onsite was unstable, requiring the site to be undercut, geotextile fabric placed, and crushed stone placed to correct the deficient subgrade. This was necessary to ensure longevity of the courts. Additionally, staff has asked the contractor to change the size of the line post from 2 ¼ inch to 3 inch for additional stability for both the fence and the wind screens that are attached to the fence. A large pavilion, which was planned to be removed by City forces, was ultimately by the contractor. Since regrading of the area for drainage was needed staff asked the contractor for a price to remove the pavilion. The additional work has already been completed to keep the contract on schedule. The contractor has also asked for an additional nineteen (19) days be added to the contract time for the days in which the additional work required.
Financial Impact
Change Order No. 1 will result in a cost increase of $221,095.20 and a time extension of 19 days. To date, project costs have been split as follows: 75% to the General Fund (110) and 25% to Hotel/Motel Tax (150). Staff anticipates the continued use of these funding sources at the same ratio.
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends approval of Change Order No. 1 to COF Contract No. 2018-0252 for a cost increase of $221,095.20 and a time extension of 19 days.
