Title
Hogtown Creek Greenway Boardwalk and Trail Construction (B)

This item authorizes a payment of $46,825.77 to Sutron Corporation for additional costs relating to the construction of the Hogtown Creek Greenway Boardwalk and Trail located between NW 8th Avenue and NW 16th Avenue through the Loblolly Woods.

Explanation
The City Commission awarded the bid for construction of a multi -purpose trail of the Hogtown Creek Greenway - Phase 1B section located at the 2700 block between NW 8th and NW 16th Avenue to Sutron Corporation on February 27, 2006, and authorized the City Manager or designee to execute all contract documents and issue a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $392,500. Furthermore, the City received a Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) grant for $200,000 as a match for construction of the project.

In order to proceed with this development the City contracted with Causseaux & Ellington to project manage the construction. During the construction of this project, Sutron notified the City and Causseaux & Ellington that upon completion they would submit a change order for additional construction costs as outlined in the agreement between the City and Sutron.

This additional cost is a result of the following project adustments: an increase in the overall length of the boardwalk by 37 feet; adjustments to the boardwalk due to four unplanned bends necessary to avoid the removal of several large trees; the removal of additional tree stumps; and the relocation and adjustment of 300 feet of handrail and 6 handrail loops for the 16th Avenue entry ramp. The total change order for this work is $46,825.77. Although additional charges were anticipated, City Commission approval is required since the total additional cost exceeds 10% of the original contract amount.

Fiscal Note
Additional funds in the amount of $46,825.77 are available in the CIRB Capitol Improvement Account for General Nature Park Improvements.
