Action Requested:
Consider a resolution approving Field Change Order No. 4 to the Bear Creek Parkway Intersection Improvements Project (501903) contract with GRod Construction, LLC of Boyd, Texas to install a trail on Whitley Road and authorizing the City Manager to execute all contract documents relating thereto on behalf of the City of Keller, Texas.
Background:
GRod Construction, LLC. was awarded Contract No. 21-57 for construction of the Bear Creek Parkway Intersection Improvements Project in the amount of $2,292,169.00 by the City Council on September 21, 2021 (Resolution No. 4417). Funding for the intersection improvements construction is provided in the Street System Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget.
The intersection project originally did not include installation of the 10’ hike and bike trail on the east side of Whitley Road. As a result of Council discussion and direction on March 1, 2022 to include trail construction in this project from approximately W. Park Drive to the new roundabout, staff has requested and received Field Change Order No.4 to install the trail on the east side of Whitely from the existing sidewalk north to the roundabout.
To construct a trail on the east side of Whitley Road the following items are required:
• Extend the existing storm culvert pipes
• Modify an existing intersecting storm drainage pipe
• Install a new headwall and railing
• Install the trail surface
The work will be performed by GRod as part of the intersection improvements to take advantage of already mobilized equipment and the closure of the intersection.
Approval of Field Change Order No. 4 increases the contract amount by $235,274 to $2,527,443.00 which will require a Budget Amendment before the end of the Fiscal Year.
Financial Impact:
Funding will be provided by the Keller Development Corporation and a budget amendment will be required to move the funds to the Street System CIP.
Legal Review:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this item.
Alternatives:
City Council has the following alternatives:
- Approve as submitted
- Approve with changes
- Denial
Council Action:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution as presented.
