RESOLUTION WAIVING BPC POLICY NO. 110, PART 1.G.2, TO INCREASE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S CHANGE ORDER AUTHORITY FROM 10% TO 20% OF THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT AMOUNT AND CONTRACT TIME EXTENSION AUTHORITY FROM 120 DAYS TO 220 DAYS FOR CONTRACT NO. 2012-06, SHELTER ISLAND BOAT LAUNCHING FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT WITH NO INCREASE TO PROJECT BUDGET
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This action recommends that the San Diego Unified Port District (District) Board of Port Commissioners (Board) waive BPC Policy No. 110, Part 1.G.2, to increase the executive director's change order authority from 10% to 20% of the Original Contract Amount and Contract Time Extension authority from 120 days to 220 days for Contract No. 2012-06, Shelter Island Boat Launching Facility Improvements Project.
The Shelter Island Boat Launching Facility Improvements Project scope includes replacing the worn-out launch ramp, enlarging the maneuvering area in the basin, increasing of the length of boarding floats, and installation of a new breakwater wall system and public walkway platform.
During excavations for removal of the existing jetties the contractor encountered an unforeseen amount of large buried concrete debris which required changes to their construction methodologies. These changes have significantly impacted their productivity and construction schedule and could contribute to a delay in the installation of the new breakwater wall system.
Staff is seeking to expedite the change order approval process for any change orders due to additional unforeseen conditions to minimize the District's exposure to additional project delays. Accordingly, staff is recommending an increase in the Executive Director's authority to approve change orders up to 20% of the original contract amount and increase the contract duration up to 220 days. The recommended increase in change order capacity does not impact the overall project budget.
