FROM: Tim Sullivan, Director of Public Works
Title
Request Feedback from the Economic Development Committee to Appropriate $1,500,000 from the Capital Projects Fund 300 and Delegate Authority to the City Manager or their Designee to Approve Contract Change Orders in the Cumulative Amount of $1,500,000 for the Various Streets Phase II, City Project No. 240802.
(ACTION)
Body
BACKGROUND
On April 9, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Calmex Engineering Inc. in the amount of $8,064,168.70. At the meeting, City Council requested for the contingency component of the project to return to council for approval.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Staff recommends that the Economic Development Committee recommends the City Manager or their designee to review and approve contract change orders in a cumulative amount not to exceed $1,500,000. The additional funding appropriation will be primarily used for additional scope for the following under the Various Streets Phase II Project:
1. Grind and cap Casa Grande Drive between Mango Avenue and Alder Avenue to establish new striping to match the City of Fontana’s striping west of Mango Avenue and open traffic access westbound towards Sierra Avenue.
2. Construct curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveways, and grind and cap Linden Avenue south of the county limits to just south of Norwood Street to fill the area not covered by the new development to the south. The grind and cap will be a temporary safety improvement until the Linden Widening project is ready for construction.
3. Construct improvements at Bloomington Avenue and Randall Avenue including completion of the pedestrian sidewalk access on Bloomington Avenue heading northwest bound and asphalt grinding and caping of the Bloomington Avenue/ Lilac Avenue/ Randall Avenue intersection. Project plans are ready for construction.
4. Construction of curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveways, and widening of the roadway to improve drainage for the homes that experience extreme flooding on Maple Avenue south of Rialto Avenue. Project plans are ready for construction.
The completion of these additional tasks within the current Various Streets Phase II Project will allow savings in time, mobilization costs, and costs associated with bidding as separate projects.
