Staff Summary
· Peterson Road Reconstruction: LCDOT Change Order No. 11.
· Change Orders need to be approved by the standing committees for cumulative net increases over 10 percent.
· The Peterson Road reconstruction project is under contract with Berger Excavating Contractors, Inc., in the amount of $10,833,869.69.
· Adjustments to construction items are being requested for revisions to the original scope of work as detailed in the attached Change Order No. 11.
· The major item contributing to the cost adjustments is the revision made by Kinder Morgan Pipeline; after the project was let, Kinder Morgan determined the need to modify its triple pipeline crossings under Peterson Road at four locations.
· Due to the delays caused by the Kinder Morgan work, numerous contract modifications were necessary to keep the project moving and to insure the travel lanes would be opened prior to the winter project shut down.
· A final balancing change order will be necessary in late 2015 (after all the construction is completed and quantities finalized at the end of the project punchlist).
