File Number: 23-471 <br />This project is not subject to the provisions of the Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) <br />because its cost is below the $1,000,000 threshold. The low bidder, Silman Industries , is a San <br />Leandro based contractor, which complies with the Local Inclusion Policy Ordinance. <br />In adherence to standard practices in the construction industry, Staff has carefully weighed the <br />cost and benefits associated with conducting a thorough site investigation against the potential <br />cost of changes during construction due to unforeseen conditions. As a result, changes to the <br />scope of the contract may occur due to new or unexpected additional items that are essential for <br />the successful completion of the project. <br />To minimize project delays, ensure flexibility to adapt to unforeseen conditions, and deliver a <br />project of the utmost quality, Staff requests that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or her <br />designee to negotiate and approve individual change orders of up to 10% (or $9,658) of the <br />original contract amount. Furthermore, Staff requests the authorization to negotiate and approve <br />cumulative change orders of up to 25% (equivalent to $24,144) of the original contract amount. <br />This allowance within the contract will expedite the project's efficient completion while adhering to <br />the budget and schedule. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />·Maintain and enhance City’s infrastructures . <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />·Policy OSC-1.1: Park Rehabilitation.
