MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 31, 1999
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: James W. Shira, P.E., City Engineer/Utilities Director
SUBJECT: Fire Station No. 4 Driveway
The low bid amount for this contract was $86,300.00 submitted by Prime Construction Group,
Inc. Before beginning construction of the driveway, we had to remove all of the material that
had been placed by the original contractor since it was of very poor quality. Once that was done,
we were able to see what the underlying soils and groundwater conditions were like.
Based on our analysis of the actual site conditions, we determined that we needed to modify the
inlet structure and the underdrain system from the original design, and we also added reinforcing
to the driveway curbing to strengthen it.
To complete the work as quickly as possible, and allow the fire department to begin using this
driveway, I negotiated a price for the additional work, and authorized it as a field change. The
agreed-upon fee for this additional work was $4,579.20. Attached for your review is a copy of a
letter from Prime dated May 27, 1999 which provides a breakdown of this amount.
The original contract amount of$86,300.00 and this proposed additional fee of$4,579.20 will
both be part of the ongoing litigation between the city and the original fire station construction
contractor.
I recommend that the City Commission authorize an increase in the contract amount for this
project of$4,579.20, making the total authorized contract amount$90,879.20, and authorize
payment of this amount to Prime Construction Group, Inc.
