BACKGROUND:
The contractor, H&G Masonry, LLC., encountered poor soil conditions during the removal of concrete at the Patton Avenue concrete replacement project. The county engaged a 3rd party testing firm, Terracon, to inspect and offer recommendations to correct the subgrade issues encountered by the contractor. Terracon issued a formal report that recommended removal of 24” of subgrade soil to be replaced with suitable soil and stone. The contractor has quoted the corrections at a price of $31,780.00.
H&G Masonry, LLC. was awarded the original contract using the IFB process at the December 12, 2023 meeting. The original contract amount was $94,500.00. Upon approval by the BOCC, the amended contract amount will be $126,280.00.
County staff has reviewed the soil report and recommendations, and the contractor’s quote and recommends that we proceed with a contract amendment to H&G Masonry LLC. in the amount of $31,780.00 to make the necessary corrections to the subgrade soil conditions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding is available withing the adopted FY2024 budget to support the contract amendment amount of $31,780.00.
