<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> in 2016 the City solicited bids for the replacement of Area 4 of the
<br />Portsmouth seawall, which is the section of the seawall between High Street and the
<br />Ocean Marine Facility; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> Crofton Construction Services, Inc. submitted the low bid; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> the City entered into a contract with Crofton Construction Services,
<br />Inc. for the replacement of a portion of Area 4 of the seawall dated July 15, 2016; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> due to funding limitations at the time of contract execution, the initial
<br />scope of work in the contract was limited to approximately 544 linear feet out of the total
<br />894 linear feet contained in Area 4; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> as part of the FY 2018 Capital Improvement Fund budget adopted on
<br />May 9, 2017 City Council appropriated additional funding sufficient for the completion of
<br />replacement of the entire 894 linear feet contained in Area 4; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> at the request of the City, Crofton Construction Services, Inc. has
<br />submitted a proposed change order to revise the contractual scope of work accordingly;
<br />and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> the additional price to add the remaining 350 linear feet to the contract
<br />scope is $2,883,205.88, which is consistent with the contractor’s original bid price; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> the initial contract price for the first 544 linear feet was $4,483,612;
<br />and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> the change to the project scope will therefore result in additional
<br />material and construction costs that will exceed 25% of the original contract amount; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> Section 12-183 of the City Code requires Council approval to exceed
<br />an original contract amount by more than 25% or $50,000, whichever is greater; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> it is projected that the final project cost will be $7,366,817.88, and
<br />funding for the additional project costs is available in the Capital Improvement Fund
<br />budget.
<br />
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
<br /> by the Council of the City of Portsmouth,
<br />Virginia that, pursuant to Section 12-183 of the City Code, the City Manager is authorized
<br />to expend the additional funds necessary to add the remaining 350 linear feet to the scope
<br />of work for the Area 4 Seawall Replacement contract, and to complete the replacement
