PURPOSE:
DWM are requesting for additional funding to the GDOT agreement for SR 212/Browns Mill Rd at CR 594/Salem Rd improvement that is associated with Watershed Management in the amount of $48,420.00. GDOT contractor CMES is GDOT’s road contractor, the sub-contractor performing the water work is MVP Piping Contractors Inc. were awarded a contract in response to GDOT P.I. No: 0009988. GDOT original quote submitted to DWM dated June 4, 2018 stated the total low bid for this project was $4,873,402.03 with DWM portion being $979,590. CMES submitted a change order to GDOT for the additional quantities dated November 26, 2019 in the amount of $48,420 for the Browns Mill Rd/Salem Rd roundabout project.
NEED/IMPACT:
The GDOT project along Browns Mill Road, between Farmingham Drive and Springtree Drive consists of the new construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Browns Mill Road and Salem Road and approximately half a mile of wheelchair accessible sidewalk, crosswalks, drainage improvements and widening of Browns Mill Road. The Department of Watershed Management has existing utilities within the construction limits that are in conflict with the proposed work or need to be replaced due to age. Therefore, the County entered into a Contract Item Agreement with GDOT to include water and sewer installations/adjustments for the Browns Mill Road and Salem Road Improvements project to prevent construction delays, minimize impact to adjacent property owners and the traveling public. The County has agreed to pay the cost of completing the work. This will ensure that there are adequate funds on this agreement to enable the contractor to complete the work on our water and sewer installation/adjustments.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Schedule Delay - Resulting in delay claims
Change in scope (rework) - Impacts to budget due to possible design and field changes
RECOMMENDATION:
