RESOLUTION NO. 2011-57
RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGE ORDER NO. 4 FOR THE
WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROGRAM, PHASE II
IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, The City Council of Fairfax, Iowa has contracted with Schrader
Excavating & Grading, Inc. for the Water Main Replacement Program, Phase II Improvements,
within the corporate limits; and
WHEREAS, Hall and Hall Engineers, Inc., has recommended approval of Change Order
No. 4, for an increase to the contract amount of $1,800.00 as listed below:
C.O. #4, Item 1 - PCC Replacement at the Intersection of Losey Avenue and Nickolet
Street
The original contract called for Asphalt Pavement to replace the sealcoat at the water
main crossing of Nickolet Street. To install the Asphalt per plans would create a three surface
material intersection at Nickolet and Losey, going from new Asphalt at the crossing, to Sealcoat
at the southernmost end of Nickolet Street, and finally tie into existing PCC pavement further
north on Nickolet Street. Replacing the whole section with PCC would be a better option, and
would allow the new PCC pavement to be tied into the existing PCC pavement on Nickolet
Street, eliminating differential settlement of the pavement between material types. There is no
difference in unit prices of Asphalt vs. PCC for this substitution. The difference in cost comes
from the addition of 45 SY to complete the entire area with 1 material. The total additional cost
of the PCC Pavement is $1,800.00.
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Fairfax, Iowa, to approve
Change Order No. 4 for the Water Main Replacement Program, Phase II Improvements which
will result in an increase to the contract amount of $1,800.00 to make a revised total construction
contract cost amount of $413,794.86.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Fairfax City Council of
the City of Fairfax, Iowa, that the Mayor and City Clerk/Treasurer are hereby authorized and
directed to execute said resolution.
th
Passed and approved this 30 day of August, 2011.
