Analysis
Schrickel, Rollins and Associates was hired to design paving improvements to add a right turn lane along northbound Carrier Parkway to eastbound Corn Valley Road at their intersection. This right turn lane is needed for school buses and trucks to safely make the turn from Carrier Parkway to Corn Valley Road and to allow two lane traffic movement through the intersection.
On June 2, 2015, the City of Grand Prairie awarded a construction contract for this project to XIT Paving & Construction for the low bid amount of $319,291.00. During the course of construction, several items were added, deleted, or modified due to changes in field conditions from when the project was bid as well as to include some upgrades to the traffic signal facilities at this intersection at the request of the Transportation department. This extra work has resulted in Change Order Number 1 in the cumulative amount of $45,308.41 and a net contract change of $23,536.41. This net contract change amount exceeds the contract contingency amount of $15,965 that was appropriated as part of the construction contract award by $7,571.41.
Schrickel, Rollins and Associates and City Staff recommend approval of additional funding for Change Order Number 1, as all additional work performed by XIT Paving and Construction was required to successfully complete the project.
