Change Order: TIGER Program Change Order No. 83 - 300 North Salt Lake City Overhead Pedestrian Bridge Elevator Structure Modifications (Granite Construction Company)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute change order no. 83 and associated disbursements with Granite Construction for the Salt Lake City 300 North Overhead Pedestrian Bridge Elevator Structure Modifications in the amount of $20,767.32.
BACKGROUND:
UTA is engaged in the TIGER Program of projects to construct first and last mile improvements across the UTA service area. In April of 2018 an RFP was issued for construction manager/general contractor services, following which a contract was executed with Granite Construction Company for phase 1 pre-construction services. Subprojects under the TIGER Program have been executed through phase 2 contract amendments and change orders with Granite. For the past four years the Board of Trustees has delegated authority to execute TIGER project amendments to the Executive Director through annual resolutions which outlined the parameters for delegating authority.
Board resolution R2021-01-04 authorized execution of a contract amendment in the amount of $5,363,756.00 for the Salt Lake City 300 North Overhead Pedestrian Bridge. R2022-02-01 authorized execution of a second amendment for the Salt Lake Pedestrian Bridge in the amount of $1,522,216.60.
The 300 North pedestrian bridge elevator towers were constructed with structural steel instead of the originally intended weathering steel. In order to keep the structural steel in place - several modifications needed to be made and the structural steel will now need to be painted. On August 25, 2022, Granite Construction sent UTA a potential change order regarding Elevator Structure Paint and Steel Modifications for the Salt Lake City 300 North Overhead Pedestrian Bridge in the amount of $520,036. This change order was for a roof modification, the paint change, and the time needed to make these changes. To avoid additional delay charges and have the contractor begin work, UTA issued a Direction or Authorization to Proceed (DAP) for $520,036 to Granite Construction to begin this work. The DAP was brought to the Board and discussed as an informational item in the September 14, 2022 Board Meeting. UTA continued to work through questions, comments, and scope items relating to the PCO and reduced the amount to $462,641.
To track the change order more efficiently and eliminate confusion, it was divided into 3 parts (A, B, and C) as outlined below:
Part A includes the paint specification change and associated special inspections, blasting and paint credit, steel modifications to the elevator tower upper roof, Granite’s overhead, traffic control, QA/QC, public involvement, erosion control, and railroad protective liability insurance extension. The total cost of Part A is $318,069 and was approved in the 1/11/2023 Board Meeting.
Part B includes the closure plate materials and welding to the structure. The total cost of Part B is $132,074 and was approved in the 1/25/2023 Board Meeting.
Part C includes the elevator storage. The elevators were a long lead item that were ordered prior to delays. As a result of the delays, the elevators have arrived and need to be stored until installed on the job site. The total cost of Part C is $20,767.32 and covers elevator storage from 9/9/2022-12/7/2022. This is what is currently being requested for approval.
DISCUSSION:
This Board agenda item is dealing specifically with change order no. 83, which encompasses Part C for the amount of $20,767.32. Parts A and B were previously presented for approval.
