FINAL CHANGE ORDER - GRANITE - FARRELL RELOCATION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council approve Change Order #2 to the Granite
Construction contract for the relocation of Farrell Drive, as final Change Order and
settlement of all claims.
BACKGROUND
Under a federal grant, Granite Construction Company has completed the relocation
of Farrell Drive and the related sewer line to accommodate the extension of the
Airport's primary runway. ,
During construction,there were problems with the sewer line and large sections had
to be replaced. As a result, a series of claims was filed which exceed $460,000. As
in any claim situation, there was much finger pointing that the pipe was bad, the
design was bad, the installation was bad, etc.
A series of sessions was conducted by the City Engineer and his staff has negotiated
the total claim down to $38,388.63 and the design engineer, Mainiero Smith, has
agreed to reimburse the City $10,000 of that amount. The attached Change Order,
if approved, will settle all claims and avoid an undoubtedly costly legal battle over the
issue. Staff recommends City Council approval.
The Change Order, after reduction for Mainiero's contribution, is 90% grant eligible
and the remainder will be funded from Airport account 415-6600-56017 "Second
Phase Runway."
A copy of the proposed Change Order and a Minute Order are attached for City
Council consideration.
