BACKGROUND:
The Rock Run Crossings Development Project, located at the northeast corner of the I-80 and I-55 interchange, involves support projects for infrastructure improvements and site access to be constructed by the City. The Olympic Boulevard / Houbolt Road roadway improvements project primarily includes improvements to existing portions of Olympic Boulevard and Houbolt Road. An associated contract was issued for the construction of a new bridge over Rock Run Creek.

A contract for this work was awarded to PT Ferro Construction Co. on August 14, 2023, in the amount of $7,498,539.72. Subsequently, Change Order No.1 in the amount of $347,850.97 was approved by the Mayor and City Council.

The Public Service Committee will review this matter.

CONCLUSION:
This project has been completed, inspected, and accepted by the Department of Public Works. Change Order No. 2, an addition in the amount of $248,128.09, is for the following items:

1) Addition of the quantities for Non-Special Waste Disposal. This item was shifted from an adjacent contract to this contract at the same cost with the same funding source. The original contract quantity was also increased due to additional quantities encountered during construction.
