During the course of construction of the Avenue “O” Neighborhood Improvement Project an area was identified that was not scheduled for proposed improvements and staff authorized the contractor to make the aforementioned improvements which exceeded the approved amount and ten percent (10%) authorized to the City Manager for approving change orders. This authorization conflicts with both City policy and Resolution Number 46-18 of not exceeding the approved amount and ten percent (10%) authorized to the City Manager for approving change orders. Other than that, there is no conflict with any existing City policy. in November 2018 the contractor completed the utility work, including utility work associated with change orders, for the utilities improvements; and as of the date of this memorandum, Man-Con Incorporated has not been paid for the utility work associated with change orders for the utility improvements that exceeded the approved amount in Resolution Number 46-18 in the amount of $1,093,786.95. Construction of the utility infrastructure improvements was completed in July 2018 for the Avenue “H” East and West project with the final construction cost exceeding the original construction cost in the amount of $308,967.74.  Construction of the utility infrastructure improvements was completed in August 2019 for the Yacht Harbor Manor Roadway Improvements project with the final construction for the utility infrastructure improvements being less than the original construction cost in the amount of $152,405.62.
