INFORMATION: Construction for the Homestead -Chapel Hill High School Multi-use Path got underway in summer 2016 and continued through December 2016. The contractor’s bridge design team encountered some delays in bridge substructure details early in 2017 that prevented the resumption of work. Those details have been resolved and the construction details for the bridge approved. Work on the project has resumed and the bulk of construction activities are now scheduled for completion in July 2018. The attached ordinance (Attachment A) includes amendments to increase construction costs by $73,980 and to authorize the Town Manager to execute a contract amendment with Fred Smith, Company, Inc.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: The fiscal impact of the recommended action is the allocation of $73,980 in Bond funds available from projects that were completed under budget.
RECOMMENDATION:r It is recommended that the Board of Aldermen approve the amendment to the Homestead - Chapel Hill High School Multi-use Path Capital Project Ordinance transferring funds from the Bond Fund to this project (Attachment A) and authorizing the Town Manager to execute a contract amendment.
