Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing a construction contract with Tandem Services, LLC for the Nature Center Wetland Enhancement [PK1501], in an amount not to exceed $159,530 and a work change directive budget not to exceed $15,953 (Director of Public Works)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize the restoration of the existing Nature Center pond’s function by replacing the failed drainage equalization pipes connecting to Clear Creek. Restoration is required to maintain compliance with the property grant to League City by the Texas Parks and Wildlife and U.S Fish and Wildlife Departments.
In general, the project consists of the removal of existing failed pipe and materials, installing new pipes to a specified grade, restoration of eroded bank, and re-vegetation of the restored bank.
Two sealed bids (Bid No.17-008) for the project were received January 23, 2017, and Tandem Services, LLC submitted the lowest bid in the amount of $159,530. Recommendation of award and bid tabulation are attached.
Staff is requesting approval of a work change directive budget not to exceed $15,953 (10 percent of bid amount). This will allow staff authority for minor field changes should they be necessary to expedite decisions and avoid possible construction delays and/or damage claims by the contractor.
This project was included in the FY2017 Capital Budget to be funded from park dedication fees. This project is anticipated to take 60 calendar days, weather permitting, from date of the Notice to Proceed.
