A water main, not identified on the construction drawings, was discovered during construction. It runs through the west end of the park. This requires the relocation of the park's entry columns, redesign of the plaza and landscape bed, thereby increasing the project's cost for concrete, landscape curbing and demolition costing in the amount of$15,450. The entry columns in the four corners of the park also needed additional structural support for the artwork and arch, in the amount of$9,250. There are sufficient contingency funds in this project to pay for this work. Under separately planned improvements funded out of program 52, the parks department programmed 1) the replacement of the deteriorated 4' baseball field fencing with 6' fencing and additional fencing to prohibit vehicle access to the interior of the park; and 2) convert the existing parking on the south side of the park(15 '/2 feet in length) to city of Everett standards (18 1/2 feet in length) including new curbing, asphalt and fence line relocation (which will reduce mowing maintenance. Staff conferred with purchasing and determined adding these two items to the existing scope of work is consistent with the original contract's scope. Staff believes that adding these additional elements will be less costly than undertaking them outside of the current construction project(in part because a contractor is already mobilized). The cost of these elements are $23,500 and $44,200 respectively, plus Washington State Sales Tax. Contract time has been extended due to additional work and extreme weather conditions in November, causing extensive delays in construction. CityStaff Contact: Jonna Hauser 17 Date: 11/28/2006
