VINSON CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC FOR WALKS AND TRAIL REPLACEMENT AT EIGHT PARK SITES On March 7, 2000 (M&C C-17906), the City Council approved an award of contract to M A. Vinson Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $401,473 84 for walks and trail replacement at all eight sites Project construction commenced on April 11, 2000 In late May 2000, while the contractor was performing the specified slope embankment grading at Foster Park North, a utility trench was uncovered which was not identified on the plans. After site review by both the Parks and Community Services Department (PACs) and the Water Department, it was determined that there was an 18-inch sanitary sewer line located within the proposed slope embankment area The location of this facility should have been known to the design engineer Transystems Corporation prepared three design options, which would provide protection to both the sanitary sewer line and the slope embankment at an estimated cost to Transystems Corporation of $3,315 00 The three options were submitted to the contractor for a price proposal In early July 2000, both City staff and the consultant concurred that installation of a gabion revetment mattress would be the appropriate solution The contractor submitted a price of $44,820 00 for this solution, and staff has determined this price to be fair and reasonable Due to the need to provide creek bank protection to the existing sanitary sewer line, the Water Department will fund 50% of the cost in the amount of $22,410 00 The consultant has agreed to provide $8,710 00 as compensation to rectify its error, in addition to providing an additional $3,315 00 of engineering services. The remaining fund amount of $13,700 00 is comprised of project savings from various sites included in the walks and trails replacement project.
