DISCUSSION
On October 17, 2016, City Council awarded the Gerard Avenue Sewer Main Replacement Project 116014 to Mozingo Construction in the amount of $1,655,485. The project scope consists of, in general, the replacement of 6,240 lineal feet of existing sewer main, new sewer manholes, and reconnecting the existing sewer laterals and mains. The project is located along Gerard Avenue in the County of Merced, bounded by Tyler Road and the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way.
The original project scope required the contractor to repave the trenches used for the sewer main work, which would have been approximately half the width of the entire roadway surface. With the heavy rain during the winter/spring months, the roadway further deteriorated. As this portion of roadway is within the County, City staff approached the County about repaving the entire roadway within the project limits concurrent with the City’s sewer project.
The County agreed to reimburse the City for their share of the overlay, for an amount not to exceed $37,135. The City has issued a change order to Mozingo Construction in the amount of $74,270.47 for the additional paving work. Staff recommends approving the Construction Funding Agreement so that the City can be reimbursed for a portion of the overlay cost.
IMPACT ON CITY RESOURCES
No appropriation of funds is needed. Once the overlay work has been completed, reimbursement from the County will be returned to project account 553-1107-637.65-00-116014.
