4. Approval of Change Order No.1 with Southern Site Works for the Pioneer Key
Regional Stormwater Pond Project for a No-Cost Time Extension. (City
Engineer Wheeler)
This project requires removal of more than 90,000 cubic yards of excess materials. When the contract
for this project was originally executed, the City was to utilize one-half of the excess fill material for
various planned City projects, and the contractor was to dispose of the other half. When the City
subsequently indicated that it had no application for any excess materials, the contractor accepted
responsibility for removal of all materials without a change in contract price. With the subsequent
reduction in construction activity, the volume of material to be removed became greater than what
could be absorbed by the local development community within the original contract time.
Accordingly, the contractor has requested a no-cost construction time extension of 60 days in order to
find additional consumers of the remaining fill material.
