Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance approving Change Order #2 to the contract with Capital Electric Line Builders for the Woods Chapel Road & Channel Drive Signal project, an increase of $15,558.76 for a revised contract price of $261,870.14.

Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move to for a second reading of an Ordinance approving Change Order #2 to the contract with Capital Electric Line Builders for the Woods Chapel Road & Channel Drive Signal project, an increase of $15,558.76 for a revised contract price of $261,870.14.
SECOND MOTION: I move to for adoption of an Ordinance approving Change Order #2 to the contract with Capital Electric Line Builders for the Woods Chapel Road & Channel Drive Signal project, an increase of $15,558.76 for a revised contract price of $261,870.14.
Background:
The thermoplastic pavement marking for this project was originally included with the overlay project, as that project would immediately follow the completion of the signal project. As a result of the recent flooding in Nebraska, the delivery of the signal equipment was significantly delayed, leading to the delay in the completion of this project. As a result, the thermoplastic pavement markings were removed from the overlay project and put back into this project. Additionally, much more area was disturbed during construction of the ADA ramps in order to match existing grades and remain ADA compliant. As a result, additional sod was required to properly restore the ground. Finally, the Contractor received additional switches and modules from the signal supplier by mistake. In lieu of returning the additional equipment, the contractor offered to sell the equipment to the city at their cost. The traffic operations section decided to purchase this equipment to keep in their emergency supply.
