Staff provided a discussion and PowerPoint presentation regarding the project. The 2012 Landside Pavement Management Program Survey identified pavement reconstruction for the public parking lot south of the parking structure as the highest priority. The pavement is over 30 years old and accommodates a substantial portion of the long term parking facilities for passengers. The impact upon the people using the parking lot will be kept to a minimum. The project will consist of the replacement of new asphalt pavement and of base material manufactured by blending new aggregate base with recycled asphalt millings from the existing pavement. Given the magnitude of the overall project, reconstruction of the south parking lot will be phased over a four year period. The construction contract to come before the Planning & Construction Committee at this time is for Phase 2 which is for the north central portion of the south parking lot. Some of the operational issues include vacating vehicles from the work area prior to construction, barricading the work site and realigning vehicle circulation. Access to the parking lot will remain available at all times. There has been stakeholder coordination by Landside Operations and Public Affairs will issue tenant bulletins. Tenant Bulletins will be sent out before the construction begins. A Customer Service Impact Plan has been drafted and will be finalized before the start of the project. Design work was conducted Stantec Consulting as authorized by the Board in December 2012. This project was publicly advertised and bids were opened on May 30, 2013. After the award of the contract, construction will begin in July and scheduled completion will be in September 2013. The low, responsive, and responsible bidder was Spanish Springs Construction in the amount of $293,444. The basis of award for the contract is the Base Bid and there are no additive alternate bid items. The Engineer s estimate was $339,645. The bids were reviewed for conformance with the bid requirements and recommendation is made to award the construction contract to Spanish Springs Construction. The overall program costs were summarized in the Project Estimate at Completion table in the Board memo. The design services were in the amount of $66,200. The construction management portion of the project, which is Board Action Item B on the agenda, is in the amount of $65,600. This Board Action Item A is for the construction contract portion of the project in the amount of $293,444. The other direct costs allocated to the project are approximately $89,756. The estimate at completion for the project is in the amount of $515,000. Staff responded to questions from Committee members. As an explanation of costs, other Direct Costs include, but are not limited to, administrative costs, permits, legal advertisements, utility company fees, environmental testing, construction contingency and reproduction costs. They would include costs associated with services that the RTAA would purchase directly. These amounts are only spent as needed. The project design is a multi-phase effort with various tasks, including geotechnical investigation, being conducted in the initial phases of the overall program. Separate bid packages are generated for each phase of construction. Page 2 of 5
In Phase 1 there were field conditions, such as buried building foundations, that affected construction cost. The project was completed under budget due to cost savings in other construction items. There is potential to encounter similar issues in Phase 2, but such issues are not expected to be significant. Environmental contamination is not expected to be a significant issue, since the pavement removal is relatively shallow. Staff went into detail of what was included under the construction management services for the project. Board Action Item B covers the construction management portion of the project. As part of the construction management activities, Atkins conducts quality assurance procedures to monitor the work and quality control measures performed by the contractor. Additional services are provided by the construction manager for materials testing, survey verification, certified payrolls, and contract administration. The project is funded by the FY 2012-13 Capital Projects Budget in the amount of $515,000, with $293,444 allocated for construction as presented in the Board Memo. Since Board Action Items A and B were both discussed in detail under this portion of the Agenda, a motion was made by Trustee Thompson, seconded by Trustee Katzman and the Committee unanimously recommended, that both items be forwarded to the Board for approval at the upcoming Board meeting.
