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.
