SUBJECT: 1980 Street Improvement Program - W. Lobit Change Order
After extensive base work was done on W. Lobit Avenue between Decker Drive
and .lames Street, the Engineering Department realized the initial street cores
were not representative of the material found when the reconstruction was in
progress. Additional cores were taken between James Street and N. Pruett to
provide further base information. Upon careful review of this information and
a study of W. Lobit, the following alternatives are available:
1.
Asphalt
overlay
(Remove & salvage existing asphalt)
- $21,545.84
2.
Asphalt
overlay
only
- 19,231.12
3. Do nothing this year and add to next year's
street program
The work completed to date on W. Lobit comes to $96,398.73 including
asphalt from Decker Drive to James Street. The estimated cost of W. Lobit
was $104,626.36.
The original contract for the 1980 Street Improvement Program was $385,803.60.
Change orders and overruns to date bring our contract to $404,800.00. A total
of $425,000 was budgeted for the 1980 Street Improvement Program.
I recommend that we do alternate number 1 which would be to remove and sal-
vage the existing asphalt from James Street to Pruett Street and lay 11" of new
asphalt. The core tests indicate there is adequate base material in place. We
do not want to raise the crown of the street any higher than it is now because
of the probability of cars dragging at the driveways. By removing the existing
asphalt and relaying new asphalt, we will have a new improved riding surface at
the present street elevation. The cost for this is approximately $21,545.84,
which would bring our total expenditures to approximately $426,346. This would
be slightly over our budget of $425,000 and there could be some unforeseen over-
runs on the balance of the contract work.
