PUBLIC WORKS

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mike Keith, Interim City Manager
FROM: Ben Burchfield, Public Works Director
DATE: April 5, 2023
SUBJECT: CTI Change Order Request

Adams Construction is moving quickly towards completion of the roadway improvements
package on the Athens Campus Transportation Improvements project started earlier this year.
They are tentatively planning to complete sidewalk improvements in ~3 weeks weather
permitting. As part of the roadway improvements, there were several existing stormwater
catch-basins located along McMinn Ave and Crestway Dr that, during the course of
construction, were excavated and planned for repairs. It has been determined that the original
design plans for retrofit/replacement will not work as planned, and so an alternate stormwater
catch-basin design has been substituted in order to both accommodate the new sidewalk and
altered roadway sections. This COR is time sensitive due to the need to procure materials and
complete the work while Adams is still on-site, otherwise there may be a need to remobilize
which would carry additional cost.

Adams has provided a breakdown of the change order request (COR) as follows:

1. Materials $6,948.59
2. Labor $5,091.00
3. Equipment $6,336.00
4. Total /w bond increase $18,651.22

Public Works is requesting Council approval to increase the approved contract amount with
Adams Construction to account for the required change.

Let me know if you have any questions.
