SUBJECT: Award Contract 23-24-SW AADS Phase III Modules 9 and 10
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Adopt plans and specifications for Contract 23-24-SW American Avenue Disposal Site Phase III Modules 9 and 10 and award to the lowest bidder Yarbs Grading and Paving, Inc., 11339 S. Peach Avenue, Fresno CA, in the total amount of $7,357,089.
2. Authorize the Chairman to execute Contract Change Orders for Contract No. 23-24-SW in the amount of $290,000, in excess of the Director's allowance of $210,000, up to a total change order limit of $500,000.
REPORT
Approval of the first recommended action will authorize the award of an American Avenue Disposal Site enterprise-funded landfill project. This item pertains to a location in District 1. The second recommended action would allow the Chairman to execute change orders up to 6.8% of the contract total.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the recommended action is not approved, the American Avenue Disposal Site (AADS) expansion will not be in compliance with Title 27 of the California Code of regulations and Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations and there will be no volume available in which to place refuse. AADS is the only regional landfill in Fresno County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The anticipated construction cost for the project is $7,857,089, based on the low bid and the Director's allowance for change orders of $210,000 and the Chairman's allowance for change orders of $290,000. This proposed total change order limit of $500,000, or approximately 6.8%, is requested due to the scale and complexity of the project.
