Background Information:
The attached Change Order #3 for $476,665.00 to Construction Contract 223-277 with Guerra Underground, LLC will upgrade the paving repair from a typical trench repair to a full width (curb to curb) asphalt paving repair to the entire project. This effort is associated with the Dunbar Water and Wastewater Improvement Project and the total contract amount would become $7,397,390.07.
This project is upsizing water and wastewater mains to a minimum of 8-in which is the current design standard. The scope of work also includes the repaving of Faris, Wilson and MLK Drive since the pavement condition index (PCI) was less than 50. The other streets were scheduled for a typical trench repair since the PCI score was above 50. This change order adds additional streets to the full-width repair to avoid the need for future road repairs in the near future. Sharrow bike lanes are proposed on San Antonio Street between Mitchell and S. Bishop Street. The upgrades installed with this project will improve fire protection and potable water hydraulic conditions for the Dunbar neighborhood area as well improve roadway conditions.
Construction is currently underway and is scheduled to be complete by September 2026.
