SUBJECT:
Utility Change Order for Hemisfair Internal Street Improvements: Water Street and E. Nueva
SUMMARY:
An Ordinance approving a utility-related change order in the amount not to exceed $111,900.00 to the existing $7,031,409.95 construction contract with Jerdon Enterprise, L.P. for construction of the Hemisfair Internal Street Improvements Project at Water Street and E. Nueva Street, of which CPS Energy, AT&T, and Time Warner Cable each will reimburse $27,975.00 to the City.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The construction of Water Street and East Nueva Street are included in the HemisFair Park Master Plan. These two streets are considered high priority for the redevelopment of HemisFair Park and will provide vehicular and pedestrian access into HemisFair Park from South Alamo Street and Cesar Chavez. Construction on this Project began in January 2015 and is estimated to be completed in the fall of 2016.
The discovery of a historical acequia (an irrigation canal or ditch) feature made it necessary to re-route a utility duct-bank conveying several new utility lines through the acequia without disturbing its structural integrity. This change order will fund the partial demolition and reconstruction of two SAWS chilled water line vaults and will allow the underground utility duct-bank to traverse the acequia without inflicting any damage to the historic structure.
