DESCRIPTION
The Board approved Contract No. 2024-045 with the Contractor on May 10, 2024, in the amount of $6,943,298.20. Construction began on July 8, 2024, and is now complete. The scope of work included constructing a new shared use path starting at US 98 @ Winter Lake Road and extending to the west to Lakeland Highlands Road. At this point the new path extends to the north and ends at Glendale Street.
During construction, the Engineer of Record issued plan revisions to accommodate additional and unforeseen modifications that were needed to allow the shared use path to function correctly and allow owners continued access to their properties. The cost of these modifications is $237,670.24. These changes included:
• Modifications to driveway to PCSO facility.
• Mill and resurface sections of Winter Lake Rd to correct poor pavement conditions.
• Drainage and geometric improvements at Winter Lake Rd @ States Street.
• Modify a section of curbing along Winter Lake Rd to allow a private property owner ease of access.
• Added one cross drain pipe and raised path profile for a short section of the project to allow the path to remain in the dry during rainy season.
• Added Type D curbing along the edge of the path north of the Lowe’s driveway due to grade issues.
• Added additional fencing and gates to improve access to the path for adjacent owners.
During construction, the Contractor and the Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) staff discovered unsuitable soils were underlying a section of the path. The contractor removed 4,608 cubic yards of unsuitable soils and replaced with clean fill material. The cost of removing and replacing the unsuitable soils is $543,636.00.
The total cost of the plan revisions and the removal of the unsuitable soils is $781,306.24.
