RESOLUTION INCREASING THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT ON CONTRACT REVISION ORDERS THAT THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS CAN EXECUTE WITH STAR CONSTRUCTION, INC. FROM TEN PERCENT ($49,870) TO TWENTY PERCENT ($100,000) FOR THE NEW MEADOWVIEW PLAYGROUND AT THE JUNIPERRO SERRA COUNTY PARK

 

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

 

WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 069404, the County entered into an Agreement dated May 6, 2008, with Star Construction, Inc. for the construction of the New Meadowview Playground; and

 

WHEREAS, the original Agreement was based on an estimate of services to be provided, and authorized the Director of Public Works to approve change orders not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the contract maximum; and

 

WHEREAS, the scope of the work required under this Agreement has subsequently increased to include additional grading work and fencing, repair of existing sewer lines and the construction of concrete stairs, which will allow children to climb the stairs rather than using the long pathway to the top of the slides; and

 

WHEREAS, while these modifications will result in a project cost in excess of the Public Works Director’s current authority to approve change orders not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the contract maximum, it is anticipated that the additional work can be completed if the Director is authorized to approve change orders not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the contract maximum; and

 

WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has recommended that the Board authorize the Director to approve change orders not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the contract maximum; and

 

WHEREAS, this Board has considered the recommendation of the Director of Public Works and concurs in the recommendation.

 

    NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED, that the Director of Public Works shall be hereby authorized to execute contract change orders related to the construction of a New Meadowview Playground at the Junipero Serra County Park not exceeding $100,000.00 in aggregate, which is twenty percent (20%) of the contract amount.
