BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
This project is for the repairs and re-stabilization of the Desoto ditch bank, which was damaged during Hurricane Ian. Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused further damage to the ditch banks, while under construction, and requires additional stabilization measures to repair and protect the ditch banks. Additional gopher tortoises were also noted at the job site and need to be relocated as per state and federal procedures.
The original contract time was 120 days for completion. With the additional 92 days, the updated contract time is 212 days.
Therefore, it is recommended to approve Change Order in the amount of $599,950 and an additional 92 days for Request for Bid #24-444, Desoto Ditch Bank Hurricane Repairs and Re-stabilization for an updated total amount of $1,265,106.35 and an updated contract time of 212 days.
