Cacceno sic^ed. ::aianaearJSuccary ;nr3n moaieescc abeeci v :emaer/•1 On August 23, 1993, Council awarded the patching contract to Bituminous Consulting, Inc. for a sum of $33,547.75. Staff had mentioned that, due to the extended period of time between the spring inspections (marking of the patches), and date of award, some of the areas might be larger and require more material. Staff was very conservative in marking less than desirable surfaces, not knowing what the bid price would be. With these two items in mind, staff mentioned in a couple of issues of This Is It, that the contract would probably exceed the contract amount. By having an inspector on the job, the City was able to further determine whether to extend some repairs, resulting in a more effective, efficient use of funds, considering that Staff would not have to repair questionable areas that could result in temporary patching of potholes in the early spring and permanent patches during the next summer. In two streets, where major paving had occurred, there was no base material present. This was an item that staff could not have foreseen, but needed to be corrected. To date the City has received payment requests of approximately $50,150.00. Staff expects to receive about $7,000 more in payment requests. Staff realizes that this amount greatly exceeds the contract price, but wishes to stress that relatively little patching was performedn1992 with e the City awarded to the low bidder. All quantities were verified and staff is very pleased the quality and professionalism in which the work was performed. Council had granted the Public Works Supervisor the authority to sign all change orders up to 10°6 of the awarded amount. Since this request has been exceeded, Staff requests that Council authorize the payment requests. Mike Ulrich, Public Works Supervisor Staff requests that Council approve the pay request of $44,137.37 to Bituminous Consulting, Inc. to be funded from Account No. 100-4270-705.
