Resolution approving Change Order No. 1 with C & L Landscape, Inc. (C&L), 1601 E. Duval St, Jacksonville, FL 32202 for a total added amount of $39,400 for the Beville Road Median Landscaping Project. This request is needed due to the City’s operation to install the irrigation meters for the above referenced project took longer than scheduled causing a delay of 30 days to the contractor, C&L. C&L requested that the 30 days be added to their contract and that they be compensated for this time as per the contract General Conditions 11.1.2, at a negotiated, not to exceed cost of $1,250 per day, totaling $37,500.
There was also an issue with installing one of the Medjool Palm Trees at a location where there was an overhead conflict. There was no other location to install the Medjool, however it was determined that two (2) additional Crape Myrtles could be installed at this location instead at the bid unit price of $950.00 EA, totaling $1,900.00, and the Medjool Palm could be relocated to another City location off-site.
Recommendation: Deputy Public Works Director recommends adoption of the Resolution.
