Body
SUMMARY:
Clearwater City Council awarded a $2,345,142.97 contract on November 7, 2013 to Rowland Incorporated for the Smallwood Circle Drainage Improvements and Edgewood Avenue Sanitary Sewer Improvements projects (11-0057-EN and 10-0027-EN).
While working in the neighborhood installing the sanitary and storm pipe, the City encountered substandard base beneath the majority of the existing curb. The lack of base combined with the condition of the curb and the extensive roadway disruption from the storm and sewer work, triggers the need to replace the curb on streets affected by the contract work.
Fifty days are requested to complete the additional 5300 linear feet of additional curb work. Another forty-five days are requested to complete other out of scope work due to field conditions including underdrain, pipe removal, sanitary offset, and structure modifications. The contract's new completion date is March 6, 2015.
The Streets and Sidewalks Division shall own, operate and maintain the curb improvements once completed.
