Change Order: Depot District Clean Fuels Technology Center Contract Change Order No. 29 - Additional Canopy Grading (Big D Construction)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute change order #29 and associated disbursements with Big D construction in the amount of $215,705
BACKGROUND:
In June 2018, UTA released a Request for Proposals (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. A change order is necessary to provide proper cover on the canopy foundations.
DISCUSSION:
This change order is to perform some additional grading under the canopies at the Depot District. Supply chain and cost escalation issues related to the pandemic necessitated ordering the canopy steel as soon as the change order for the canopies was signed. There were three addendums to the plans that occurred after the steel was ordered. One of these plan revisions lowered the footings to accommodate utility placement. Upon reviewing the plan change it was determined that lowering the footings would necessitate purchasing new longer steel columns. It was decided not to reorder longer steel columns in order to maintain schedule and avoid additional costs and cost escalations related to volatile steel pricing. The issue will be resolved by importing additional fill material and grading on the site to use the steel as ordered. A Direction or Authorization to Proceed (DAP) has been issued in the amount of $182,000 to start the work in order to maintain schedule while the change order was negotiated.
