Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Change Order No. to the construction contract (COF Contract No. 2014-0259) with Jarrett Builders, Inc. for the Hunters Bend Elementary Safe Routes to School Project (TDOT PIN 118151.00).
Background
This project consists of improvements to two (2) pedestrian tunnels near Hunters Bend Elementary. These improvements generally consist of: earthwork, sidewalk repair, retaining wall construction, site lighting, tunnel lighting, an emergency call box, and tunnel surround repairs. On February 14, 2017, the BOMA approved Resolution 2017-06 to award the construction contract (COF Contract No. 2014-0259) for this Safe Routes to School Project to Jarrett Builders, Inc. in the amount of $321,000.00.
During construction, a need for additional work items was discovered. The individual line items, with a detailed breakdown of quantity and cost are contained in the change order documentation. The total cost of these additional work items is $14,200.00. In an effort to keep the project as close to schedule as possible, the contractor has, in good faith, already completed most of the items contained within this change order.
Financial Impact
This project is eligible for a total of $190,562.00 in reimbursement from the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) through the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program. All costs above this amount are the responsibility of the City.
The Engineering Department will work closely with Finance and Administration to determine the best available and most appropriate source of funding for this change order. The General Ledger (GL) code used for previous project expenses has been 110-89460-44700.
