SUBJECT
Authorize Change Order No. 4 to City Secretary No. 50411 with The Fain Group, Inc., in the Amount of $200,152.66 for the Urban Villages Central
Cluster Project in The Six Points Urban Village on Race Street between Grace Avenue to Holden Street for a Total Contract Amount of
$2,657,135.43 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize Change Order No. 4 to City Secretary No. 50411 with The Fain Group, Inc., in the amount of
$200,152.66 for the Six Points Urban Village Project, plus 35 days, thereby increasing the total contract amount to $2,657,135.43 (City Project No.
00705)
DISCUSSION:
On January 23, 2018, (M&C C-28544), the City Council awarded a construction contract with The Fain Group, Inc., in the amount of
$2,357,709.60, for the construction of improvements through the Urban Villages Central Cluster Project in the Six Points Urban Village between
Grace Avenue and Holden Street.
Construction began on the project on April 23, 2018. As shown in the table below, there have been three change orders approved to date totaling
under $100,000 for various items. The purpose of this M&C is to authorize Change Order No. 4 to add the following items identified during
construction.
Additional conduit was required along Race Street to accommodate AT&T utility relocation. The original amount in the bid proposal was
insufficient to accommodate the relocation of AT&T overhead lines to buried underground lines due to pedestrian requirements. The conduit runs
from the service pedestal located on the north side of Race Street approximately 500 feet east of N. Blandin Street to the irrigation controller which
is located on the south side of Race Street nearly adjacent to the service pedestal.
As a result of the utility relocation work delay, additional quantities for temporary paving were needed and installed in four areas. The contractor
could not complete all the concrete work where utility poles were located, hence the installation of temporary paving. The delays resulted in:
• The city not receiving the estimated cost for the relocation from AT&T in a timely manner
• The execution of the discretionary service agreement, and
• Issuing payment to AT&T in order for them to proceed with the design and the relocation work
In addition to the changes for the utility work, refinements were made to the landscaping plan that would revise the plant spacing to avoid over
growth, as well as to the plant species to meet Park and Recreation Department requirements since they will assume responsibility of the
maintenance after the two year establishing period.
The installation of two roof drains by an adjacent development were installed too low which resulted in water flowing and damaging the planting
beds. The City corrected this issue by installing an area drain directly in front of the outfall, preventing the water from flowing directly into the
planting beds.
There are various areas along the north side of Race Street that require a step one foot behind the curb to accommodate drainage and ADA
compliant grades. The area between the step and the back of the curb was stained red to provide an increase in pedestrian awareness of the
change in grade.
The following is a summary of all the Change Orders to date:

The TPW staff has reviewed and verified the quantities for the additional work under this Change Order No. 4. Additionally, to complete this work,
staff recommends that the contract time be extended by a total of 35 calendar days.

and subsequent actions taken by the Mayor and City Council.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
