RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council accept the work performed by Peterson-Chase General Engineering Construction, Inc., authorize the filing of a Notice of Completion, and authorize release of the retention payment in the amount of $3,618.31 after expiration of the 35-day lien period for the construction of Duquesne Avenue Bridge Expansion Joint Repair Project, PZ-938.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On August 24, 2015 the City Council awarded the construction contract to Peterson-Chase General Engineering Construction, Inc. in the amount of $70,440.00 for the construction of Duquesne Avenue Bridge Expansion Joint Repair Project, PZ-938. The project included the replacement of the deteriorated bridge expansion joint steel plates and pavement transition.
The Contractor successfully completed the project in January 2016, within budget and contract time. To minimize the construction impact to traffic, the repair was conducted during several Saturdays and at least one lane was open to traffic during construction. One change order in the amount of $4,866.10 was issued to account for the additional traffic control cost to maintain the street open to traffic during construction.
Construction management and general inspection was provided by Public Works Engineering Division staff. The deputy inspection for steel welding work was provided by RTI Consulting, which was selected through the list of on-call consultant firms pre-approved by the City Council.
