DISCUSSION:
On July 6, 2021, the City Council approved the initial funding agreement with Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and contract with NEMA Construction to implement the car share mobility hub pilot in Nystrom Village. The project requires coordination with Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and extensive work to upgrade the existing utility infrastructure, as well as adding new electric vehicle charging equipment.
In January 2022, it was determined that additional equipment and labor was required to complete the project for which NEMA Construction submitted a work change order in the amount of $21,520.
PG&E requires another load breaker and additional amperage to provide power to the chargers and to avoid interruption or reduction of power to the Martin Luther King, Junior Park. The work entails the following:
1. Adding power to load breakers – which is divided into two parts: 1 for the stations, and 1 for the park facilities, and
2. Installation of additional conduits requires trenching to create 3 paths for new conduits.
On March 3, 2022, City staff received from MTC the attached Amendment 1 to Supplement No. 4 to the Nystrom Village funding agreement with MTC with an increase in the amount of $21,520, for a total not to exceed amount of $369,371.12. The increase is the same amount required to increase the contract between the City of Richmond and NEMA Construction to complete the Nystrom Village grant-funded tasks.
