CITY COUNCIL: Resolution for a Contract Change Order with Ambrosia Construction in the Amount of $4,215.42 for the Del Mar Beach Boardwalk & Platform Installation Project



Meeting Date: March 5, 2013
Prepared by: Mike Branson


City Council
Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a resolution for a contract change order with Ambrosia Construction in the amount $4,215.42 for the Del Mar Beach Boardwalk and Platform Installation project.

Description: On September 11, 2012, City Council authorized a contract with Ambrosia Construction that included $74,430 for construction and $10,000 for engineering ($84,430 total) for the Del Mar Beach Boardwalk and Platform Installation Project. The contract included a 15% contingency. As construction began, the platform position was adjusted and the concrete support columns were lengthened due to soil conditions. This resulted in a change order of $8,638.07, which was within the project's contingency
budget. However, an additional change order of $4,215.42 is required for the additional materials and labor for the revised attachment of the new boardwalk to the platform. This change order will exceed the authorized construction and contingency amount by $3,190.93 and thus require approval by Council.

Overall Cost: $84,430 -original authorization. Estimated final cost: $82,199
City Funds: N/A
Grant Funds: $85,000

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the resolution.

Important Considerations: The change order under consideration is critical for completion of this project. Even with the approval of the second change order, the total project cost will be under the $84,430 originally authorized by Council. Grant funds from the California Coastal Conservancy in the amount of $85,000 are identified for this project.

Decision Record:
City Council approved the resolution to award the construction contract on September 11, 2012.
