Change Order: Depot District Clean Fuels Technology Center - Phase 4, Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 4, Change Order 27 - Bus Canopies and Battery Electric Bus Charging Installation (Big D Construction)
end

AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:
Approve change order and authorize the Executive Director to execute a change order and associated disbursements with Big D Construction in the amount of $11,166,017

BACKGROUND:
In June 2018, UTA released a request for procurement (RFP) for the construction of the Depot District Clean Fuels Technology Center. This facility will replace the existing aging and undersized Central bus facility and will house up to 150 alternative and standard fuel buses with the ability to expand to 250 buses in the future. Bids were received and evaluated, and Big-D Construction was selected as the winner based on overall scoring using the best value format. The UTA Board of Trustees approved the contract and authorized the Executive Director to execute a CM/GC (Construction Manager/General Contractor) contract with Big-D Construction.
The value of the initial pre-construction phase was $149,530. Since then, there have been 27 contract modifications including the Phase II demolition and hazard abatement mods valued at $2.068M and $8.092M respectively, and the Phase III construction mod valued at $50.351M. Other modifications covered matters such as unforeseen site conditions, permit changes and various scope modifications. The value of the contract to date is $62.021M. Including this Modification No. 27, the contract value will be $73.337M.
This change order is for phase 4 of the construction, which will include construction of bus canopies and battery electric bus charging infrastructure located south of the new maintenance building.

DISCUSSION:
UTA Staff is requesting approval of this change order with Big-D Construction in the amount of $11,166,017. The scope of this change order includes construction of the canopies and battery electric bus charging infrastructure. It also makes UTA whole for prior risk and profit miscalculations by the Contractor and likewise makes the contractor whole for unabsorbed overhead expenses caused by the delay in commencement of the project.
A third party performed an ICE review and it has been determined that the costs are fair and reasonable.
This modification also extends the completion date by an additional 2.5 months to March 10, 2023.
