Title
A Resolution authorizing the City Engineer to sign a change order to increase the Project Amount Bid for the Yarbrough Drive South, George Dieter Drive & Lee Trevino Drive Roadway Lighting and Median Landscaping Project by $138,932.00, resulting in increasing the original project amount of $5,710,558.40 to a Total Project Amount of $5,849,490.40.
The increase is for the additional cost associated with changing the Round Tapered Aluminum Poles called for in the Contract to Green Fluted Poles in the Yarbrough South Portion of the Project. The George Dieter and Lee Trevino Roadway segments do not call for any street lighting.
The increase is covered by the Project’s Contingency and will cover the costs for the following:
• The cost differential associated with providing Green Fluted Poles instead of Round Tapered Aluminum Poles.
• The cost associated with any work required as part of effecting the change in materials that will ensure consistency with the type of poles being called for in the other roadway corridors throughout the City of El Paso.
