Recommended Action
Approval of Change Order No. 1 for additional construction services associated beyond the 131st Street North at 82nd Avenue North and 86th Avenue North intersections to complete sidewalk and drainage improvements along 86th Avenue North.
• The original scope of this project was to improve roadway, traffic, and pedestrian movement at the 131st Street North intersections with 86th Avenue North and 82nd Avenue North.
• Change Order No. 1 increases the contract by $267,404.60 and adds 90 days for the construction of additional drainage and sidewalk improvements adjacent to the project on 86th Avenue North:
a.) During construction a request was made to construct drainage improvements and sidewalk segments on 86th Avenue North, west of 131st Street North intersection.
b.) The contractor agreed to the change for construction of additional sidewalk and drainage improvements, using current contract unit pricing.
c.) Benefits are time and cost savings; the contractor is already mobilized and established Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) through working relationships with schools and neighborhoods.
d.) The improvements are high priority due to proximity of multiple schools in the area. The drainage needs along 86th Avenue North were identified when construction started on the 131st Street North Project. The additional sidewalk will fill in short gaps on 86th Avenue North, providing full connectivity and accessibility to the schools.
• There are sufficient funds (Penny IV and Stormwater Infrastructure Program) within the CIP Project to fund the $267,404.60 change order.
• This contract was awarded by the Board of County Commissioners on June 23, 2020, in the amount of $5,651,295.28 for a duration of 435 consecutive calendar days from issuance of notice to proceed.

Summary:Summary
During construction of the 131st Street North Intersection Improvements Project (PID 001023A) a request was made to construct proposed drainage improvements and sidewalk segments on 86th Avenue North, west of 131st Street North.
Kamminga & Roodvoets, the contractor that is currently constructing improvements for 131st Street North Intersection Improvements Project, has agreed to construct the proposed sidewalk and drainage improvements using the unit prices from the project.
The 86th Avenue North Sidewalk & Drainage Improvements Project has sufficient funds budgeted in Fiscal Year 2022 under the Stormwater Infrastructure Program. The amount budgeted for this project is $267,258.20. The additional work authorization to Kamminga & Roodvoets will be in the amount of $267,404.60, which includes a contingency of $22,000.00 for unspecified work.
By adding this work to the ongoing construction project, a likely cost and time savings will also be provided to the County, rather than bidding the project, or constructing the project under a work order contract. In addition, the contractor is already mobilized and has presence with the schools and community. The contractor has established a good working relationship with the schools and there will be more favorable public perception with keeping the construction ongoing as opposed to re-mobilization by a different contractor at an unknown future time.
