[1:30] » That passes unanimously. Next item is a request from the engineering department.
[1:38] » Good afternoon board engineering department.
[1:42] You have before you this afternoon for your consideration
[1:47] Stere Avenue and Lincoln Avenue reconstruction drainage improvements
[1:52] change order number eight job number 2019 00046.
[1:58] The intersection of Lincoln Avenue contain large areas of
[2:04] unsuitable material. Tensar provided on-site DCP testing which revealed areas
[2:11] of low strength soils as thick as 2 feet. After review of several
[2:16] alternatives and in consultation with tensor staff determined that
[2:20] undercutting of 10 installing two layers of tensor and interacts geog grid with
[2:26] aggregate in between would provide the most economical means of adequately
[2:31] stabilizing the subgrid. This provided this provides a required
[2:36] bearing capacity in the roadway and also allows for approved roll test on top of
[2:41] the air subbase prior to the placement of top access wall base. Estimated cost
[2:46] of all the alternatives reviewed as well as plan sheets showing the estimated
[2:50] area required under cutting are attached. Order number eight includes
[2:55] estimated cost for this multiaxial grid. The additional quantity 53
[3:02] aggreate used for undercutting and the difference between the installed
[3:05] material only cost for the TX type 2 grip material
[3:11] this area but will not be used within this intersection. Change order number
[3:15] eight does not include cost for common excavation which would have been
[3:19] necessary regardless of the undercutting method. No additional fees are being
[3:24] requested to complete this work. The block excavating price price of $7.76
[3:29] per square yard for the NX750 geog grid. This comparable pricing on other recent
[3:36] and current city projects using the same material. Go engineering requests the go
[3:41] public works approved change rate for $37,55.
[3:46] This change along with previous changes increases the value of the contract by
[3:50] 3.67%. 67% approved. This change order is
[3:54] anticipated by the go redevelopment commission after June 9th 2026 meeting
[4:00] has been approved provided redevelopments authorization and updated
[4:04] copy of the chamber will be provided for.
[4:09] » Thank you. Uh
[4:13] question for you
[4:18] conditioned on the redevelopment the redevelopment commission's approval that
[4:23] it does not have to come back or to save that extra step.
[4:27] » So it's it's been approved. >> It has been I thought
[4:32] » it was it was approved earlier this week. So
[4:36] » never mind. >> Sorry about that. each night jumped
[4:41] across that part. It's been approved, so it's ready for your
[4:43] » Roger that. Okay, great. Questions, comments, or a motion.
[4:47] » Yes, sir. >> Did we just approve a change order for
[4:49] the same for the same thing >> related? So, it's been a dual effort to
[4:57] uh the intention of going in there once getting it right the first time. So, we
[5:02] we added some additional uh drainage. Um if you think about spokes on a wheel,
[5:09] the drainage pipe was installed in that fashion to wick the water away from
[5:16] below. And additionally, this geode grid um was placed above that
[5:23] uh pipe drainage layer and the associated excavation and stone.
[5:29] » So this wasn't known at the point that we were digging to put the other in,
[5:35] » right? It was just as we as we worked through it, right? That helped some and
[5:41] and we took the next step to install the the
[5:47] next question. >> We have a motion from the board. I move
[5:52] to approve change order number eight in the amount of $37,55
[5:58] to address unsuitable materials that stabilize the subgrade with a high
[6:04] performance geo grid at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue at Story Avenue.
[6:09] » Second. Have a motion and a second. Questions or comments from the audience?
[6:13] We move back to the board for a vote. All those in favor?
[6:18] » Excellent. That passes unanimously.

[8:08] the city's subdivision control ordinance 3196 section 512 drainage plan, the city
[8:13] engineering department has reviewed the drainage plan for Keystone Square 16th
[8:17] located at 2490 Birkshshire Drive. The drainage plan addresses the drainage
[8:22] needs for lot 20 and lot 20 only with a combination of inlet structures,
[8:26] conveyance pipes, and storm water retention that provides 138 acre feet of
[8:30] storage. After due consideration of the proposed drainage plan, go engineering
[8:35] department recommends the board of public works and safety and storm water
[8:39] board accept the subdivision drainage plan. Standard note typically go along
[8:44] with this is that the uh record should show the city of goan in no way
[8:48] guarantees the proposed drainage improvements will adequately function as
[8:51] designed by the developer's licensed professional. Additionally, the city
[8:54] accepts no liability conjunction with this acceptance of the drainage plan. If
[8:58] drainage plant plants piping and storm water impoundments are found to be to
[9:04] underperform construction, the developer and or propert will be directed by the
[9:08] city to take additional remedial action. At that time,
