| BACKGROUND: |
The April 2014 storms produced floodwaters throughout Escambia County. Swollen streams caused excessive flooding and erosion that damaged many roadways, dams, culverts, bridges, and ditches.
The Gatewood Ditch Repair Project, a United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Emergency Watershed Program (NRCS)-reimbursed project, was awarded to Roads, Inc.of NWF under the General Paving and Drainage Contract. Damage to the Gatewood Ditch and Johnson Avenue along the ditch was incurred during the April 2014 storm event. Some of the damage includes a collapsed box culvert, washed out roadway area, pavement failure, and erosion which is undermining the ditch.
This recommendation is for the approval of Change Order #5, an additive Change Order, in the amount of $62,044.60. This Change Order will allow Roads, Inc. of NWF, as directed by NRCS, to install energy dissipaters (in lieu of a missing slab dissipater), add extensions to the ditch walls to accommodate the pumps at Ellyson Field, which run at full capacity during a storm event, for $52,544.60. It also provides $9,500.00 for repair of previous damage to the project from the tornado of February 24, 2016, as specifically approved by NRCS. A request was approved by the Board on April 4, 2016, for additional funds for reimbursement of several NRCS projects, including Gatewood Ditch. This Change Order will implement that request. Funds provided in the NRCS Amendment #3 for other completed NRCS projects which had cost under-runs are also available to be used to supplement the additions in this Change Order. Current contract amount is $302,873.71. This Change Order will increase the contract amount to $364,918.31, which will remain within the funding limits of NRCS Amendment #3. Deadline for construction completion is August 26, 2016.
Change Orders #1, #3 and #4 were for time only. Change Order # 2 was an additive Change Order for $26,265.05 for repair of 85’ of additional ditch not included in the original contract, and damage to the access sites from the heavy equipment.
In addition, Section 14 "Contract Term/Renewal/Termination" of the contract states that "No project shall exceed $350,000 without prior approval of the Board of County Commissioners." Because this Change Order takes the amount of the purchase order over $350,000, Board approval is required. |
