HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - December 20, 2000 E-16AGENDA TITLE: Approve Addendum to Contract for Installation of Streetlights on Avena and Orange Avenues
and Cardinal, Park and York Streets ($4,915)
MEETING DATE: December 20, 2000
SUBMITTED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve an addendum to the contract for installation of
streetlights on Avena and Orange Avenues and Cardinal, Park and York
Streets.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the City Council meeting of October 4, 2000, the City Council awarded a
contract to Steiny and Company, Inc. for installation of streetlights in an
amount of $92,447.80. Subsequent to this award the Department has
learned about a hazardous condition relating to streetlights in the area of Church and Chestnut Streets adjacent to
Needham School. The specific condition in this area is caused by tree roots pushing the conduit system out of the
ground in turn causing a tripping hazard. To correct this condition in the most expedient manner it is recommended
that a new conduit system including streetlight bases be installed.
The contractor for the above mentioned streetlight project has agreed to install the needed bases and conduit system
under the same terms and conditions of the contract for an amount of $4,915. This addendum will then expand the
scope of the contract to require a ten-day extension to the number of workdays allowed for the project. The total
contract amount is $97,362.80.
A change order would not be the appropriate option since the additional work is in a different location and does
change the scope of the project as specified in the contract plans and specifications approved by the City Council.
