AGENDA ITEM NO. SM-1
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: February 7, 2023 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: John Di Mario, Development Services Director
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A CHANGE ORDER REQUEST WITH NPG
CORPORATION FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PARKING LOT AT THE
COMMUNITY CENTER IN THE AMOUNT OF $46,947.00
BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting of November 15, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to NPG Corporation in the amount of $200,989.00 for improvements to the parking lot at the Community Center.
The project includes improvements consisting of color decorated concrete in the parking islands, crack seal and seal coat, ADA curb ramps and parking stalls, asphalt paving, vehicle bollards, signing and striping, and curb markings.
DISCUSSION
Construction for the Project began the week of January 9th. An initial change order in the amount of $20,000.00 was approved that was within the City Manager’s 10% contingency authority.
Change Order #1 included removal and replacement of stamped concrete in all the parking lot islands, replacement of broken utility boxes, patching and repairing broken or damaged curb faces and applying a concrete “soup” to the curb faces for a new smooth looking finish, and the installation of three (3) 48-inch wide cut through points in the islands to make it more convenient to walk directly to the Community Center building from the parking lot.
Two additional change orders have been encountered on the project due to saturated soils. The two additional change orders are listed below and further described below the table.
CO # Description Amount
2 Remove existing base of approx. 4,500 sq. ft. area to a depth of 14 inches, mix with cement and grade and compact $ 28,155 3 Time and materials cost to remove saturated soils at ADA wheelchair ramps and middle island cut-through, replace with base material, and recompact. $ 18,792
Total Change Order Request $ 46,947

AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Report – Change Order – Community Center Parking Lot Improvements For Meeting of: February 7, 2023
Change Order #2
As construction is progressing on the project, a second change order has been identified for additional work related to the soil condition that has been encountered in the parking lot area in front of the Community Center entrance. In order to set the appropriate grades for the installation of new ADA accessible parking stalls in the front field area of the parking lot and the corresponding paths of travel to and from the building, it was necessary to remove an approximate 4,500 square foot area of asphalt. In doing so, wet and expansive soils were encountered preventing the necessary compaction of the base material. Based on discussions with the City Engineer and the City’s Inspector for the Project, Staff is recommending approval of Change Order #2 in the amount of $28,155.00 to remove the saturated soils to a depth of 14 inches; mix the soil with a 5% cement treatment stabilization product; and then grade and compact to the appropriate compaction. The contractor will also add a new marked crosswalk (running north and south) across the southernly entrance/exit to the parking lot near Hill Street; at no cost to the City.
Change Order #3
Separate from, but related to the soils condition in the area described above, additional saturated soils were also encountered during the installation of the ADA wheelchair ramps leading up to the Community Center building and the pedestrian access point through the center parking lot island. This work was performed on a time and materials basis in order to keep the project moving along. Saturated soils were removed in an area of 1,200 square feet to depths ranging from 4 inches to 30 inches. Base material was then delivered to the project site and added to the excavation area and compacted prior to the pouring of concrete.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the cost of this change order request is available from the Grants Fund through the Specified Grant.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a change order request with NPG Corporation in the amount of $46,947.00 for improvements to the parking lot at the Community Center.
