Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
Approval of the 2017-2018 Capital Improvement Budget including $124,000 for the Willits Veterans Hall Ramps.
Summary of Request:
The Willits Veterans Hall Accessible Ramps project was included in the 2017-2018 Capital Improvement budget with funding assistance from the Community Development Block Grant Program. The project was in design in the fall of 2016 when the Executive Office was advised of Caltrans’ Willits Main Street Frontage Improvement Project which includes new curb, gutter and sidewalks on the Veterans Hall Project as well as the realignment of the Sherwood Road intersection. Despite concerted efforts by facilities staff and our Civil Engineer to coordinate the grade and location of our landing with the Caltrans Engineering Department, the field conditions the County contractor, Ferranti Construction, encountered did not permit the tie-in to the new City sidewalk as planned. Additional work required includes the removal and replacement of the sidewalk to the Veterans Hall entry stairs, an extended larger landing at the bottom of the ramp, a new sloping sidewalk with curbs to a new tie-in location to the City Sidewalk and changes to previously installed work to accommodate these changes totaling $28,696. To date the County has received reimbursement from Caltrans for $4,756 toward the cost of these changes which are necessary to ensure the new ramp will meet the building code requirements for access to the public way and other accessibility standards. Public Contract Code section 20137 and 20142 stipulates that change orders in excess of Ten Percent of the contract value require approval by four-fifths vote of the board. Insofar as the changes proposed are required for the proper completion of the contract work, and funding is available within the budget, the Executive Office, Facilities and Fleet Division recommends approval of Change Order No. 1 to Ferranti Construction in the amount of $28,696 for the Willits Veterans Hall Accessible Ramps Project.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Reject the Change Order and direct staff to solicit bids for the work required.
