Order No. 4 in the amount of $3,900 was approved by staff to excavate and install electrical conduit for new streetlights that needed to be relocated. Change orders 1, 3, and 4 were within the contract contingency amount. The overall hardscape treated areas improve aesthetics at the intersections and reduce utility and maintenance costs associated with weed abatement and irrigation of the public right of way at the intersections. It should be noted that hardscape improvements were not installed in several areas around the perimeter of the roundabouts, due to the possibility of fencing improvements (similar to the roundabout fencing in the Uptown) to be installed as a part of a separate contract. Based on the guidelines for roundabout intersection design, and experience with maintenance/repairs of fencing in the Uptown roundabouts, staff will evaluate options for improving these areas, and return to council with appropriate recommendations for these areas.
Field inspections perfotmed by staff during the course of the work and upon completion of the work have assured that the work was completed in accordance with the contract specifications for each facility.
