Summary:
Change Order No. 1 (final) decreases the Board approved expenditure by ($100,485.65) and accepts the contract as complete. The project was substantially complete on May 29, 2020 and obtained final completion on June 12, 2020. Liquidated damages do not apply, as the County added additional intersection and paving work that was not part of the original scope. Final inspections of the project for all work performed under the contract were conducted by representatives of Public Works Construction Management Division.
Background/Explanation:
Public Works Transportation, in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) through the Local Agency Program (LAP), identified the need to upgrade the existing sidewalk, driveways and ramps along Park Boulevard, to be compliant with the ADA, in response to citizen concerns. The proposed upgrades reduced potential conflict for disabled citizens and afforded a safer walking experience for the public while also encouraging citizens to consider alternative means of
transportation.
Award of bid to Suncoast was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on May 21, 2019 in the amount of $1,517,031.30.
