Analysis
On December 11, 2007, an engineering contract was awarded to Grantham & Associates, Inc. in the amount of $263,471 and authorized a 5% contingency of $13,173 for a total of $276,644 for the design of paving and drainage improvements for Camp Wisdom Road Phase III between Robinson Road and Carrier Parkway.
As part of the FY 2011 CIP, the City Council approved shortening this project to only remove the existing dog-leg due to traffic back-up and safety concerns.
This Amendment/Change Order No. 1 provides for the preparation of revised engineering plans and specifications for a reduced scope of work. These revisions include shortening the section of the proposed Camp Wisdom Road between Robinson Road and Carrier Parkway to an approximately 1,000 feet of 4-lane divided roadway to then transition to the existing two lane asphalt roadway. This proposed section of roadway will straighten Camp Wisdom Road by eliminating the current off-set at Robinson Road and it would enable traffic in Camp Wisdom Road to continue eastward through the Robinson Road signalized intersection towards Carrier Parkway.
