DATE: December 19, 1989
SUBJECT: Highway 4 Widening at Willow Pass Grade,
Project No. 4660-6X4171-88.
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background &
Justification
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE the amendment to the consulting services agreement with
Centennial Civil Engineering Inc. for construction management for
the Highway 4 Widening at Willow Pass Grade Project and AUTHORIZE
the Public Works Director to execute the amendment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This amendment increases the maximum amount for the consulting
services agreement. to $336, 000. The project is funded 100% by the
Delta Highway Joint Powers Authority.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On September 13, 1988, the County contracted with Centennial
Engineers, Inc. for construction management for the Widening of
Highway 4 , over the Willow Pass Grade. During the construction the
contractor was significantly delayed in completion of the project.
These delays were caused by unforseen , ground conditions, design
changes requested by Caltrans, contractor scheduling and other
changes normal to contract completion. This extended the length of
time construction management was required. It also increased the
number of claims filed by the contractor for additional
compensation. The amendment provides compensation to the consultant
for the additional time required as well as expand the scope of
contrast to include claims resolution.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve would signicantly delay resolution of contract
claims as well as increase the costs of construction management.
