SUMMARY
This action will authorize an increase to the cumulative contract change order cap for the contract with D. L. Falk Construction, Inc. related to the construction for the Police Building and South Offices Modifications project.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends authorizing an increase of the contract change order cap for the subject project from 15% to 20% (an increase of $313,400).
BACKGROUND
The subject project is for remodeling work at both the South Offices Building and the San Leandro Police Building. The construction phase has been ongoing since February 2019, and work on the final construction phase of the project is scheduled to be completed by Summer 2023.
Due to unforeseen conditions, owner requested changes, design changes, utility delays, and contractor delays, the original change order limit of 15% will be exceeded for the construction contract.
Analysis
At contract award, the project budget contained a change order contingency of 15% for the $6,268,000 construction contract. However, change orders are currently projected to total 20% of the original contract, an increase of 5% or $313,000.
Authorizing an increase in the change order cap will enable staff to complete the project without further delay. No additional funding allocation is requested at this time.
