Title
A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 12-144 TO AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL CONTINGENCY FUNDS FOR AN EXISTING CONTRACT WITH THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE STATE ROUTE 303 RESURFACING PROJECT; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Executive Summary: Staff is requesting a 20% contingency for unforeseen issues that have arisen during the construction of the SR 303 Resurfacing Project from Corp. Line to Corp. Line. The 20% contingency was originally discussed at the November 7, 2012, Council meeting with the intent to come back to Council in 2013 for approval.
Body
Legislative History
10-107; approved preliminary legislation
12-144; approved final legislation
Purpose & Explanation
During construction of the project, there have been overages to planned quantities, most significantly, a change in project limits at the westerly end of SR 303 near SR 8. Staff is requesting a 20% contingency be approved to cover these overages in the amount of $66,273.60. This percentage is higher than the typical 10% contingency request due to the overall length of the project which can greatly impact quantities. The extra costs associated with the resurfacing of additional roadway will be split (80% State/20% City) with ODOT. The City of Hudson is 100% responsible for all other overages for items outside the bid quantities such as traffic loop detectors, miscellaneous guardrail repair/replacements and partial and full depth pavement repairs.
Timing Considerations
Upon authorization to proceed by City Council, City Staff will write the Purchase Order.
