DESCRIPTION
The County entered into an agreement with AECOM, In. on March 2, 2021, to perform contract administration, and inspection services for the West Pipkin Road from Medulla Road to SR 37 construction project for a total not-to-exceed amount of $3,076,701.05.
West Pipkin Road is a two-lane collector road in south Lakeland that connects County Line Road to SR 37 (South Florida Avenue). To address level of service (LOS) issues due to growth and development in the area, Polk County is planning to widen West Pipkin Road from two lanes to four lanes to add capacity and improve the LOS. The limits of the widening project are from Medulla Road to SR 37. The section from Medulla Road to Old Hwy 37 is scheduled to be four-laned. The section from Dorman Road to SR 37 is scheduled to be three-laned.
The County needs to add additional services to the scope of work, to include additional CEI staffing for inspection/tracking due to contractor utilizing more crews than anticipated to ensure construction time frames are met; along with additional subconsultant services for borings and vibration monitoring in the amount of $635,525.62.
The total Agreement amount is increased to $3,712,226.67.
The term of this agreement is through completion of construction.
