DISCUSSION: In November of 2002, Baxter - Griffin Company, Inc. was contracted to assemble and install City- furnished bus shelters at six locations along Coast Highway in Corona Del Mar for $28,200. After the initial contract had been approved, the design team decided to modify the anchor bolts at a cost of $956.65 for the contractor to furnish and install the 48 anchor bolts. During construction, the contractor encountered underground utilities, which led to the relocation of planter irrigation pipe as well as street light conduit in several of the six locations. Additionally, the existing location of another utility caused a redesign of the reinforced concrete foundations at two of the installation locations. This work was completed on a time and material basis and the cost amounted to $5,073.51 in extra work reports. Due to the change in anchor bolts and the extra work, the project has exceeded the $30,000 threshold and requires City Council approval. Staff requests approval of the extra work. Additional funds are available in the unappropriated balance of the Coast Highway Channelization Project, Account No. 7261 - 05100698. SUBJECT: Corona Del Mar Bus Shelter— Extra Work Approval Date: May 13, 2003 Page 2 Environmental Review: The project was determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines at the time the project was authorized, because it could be seen with certainty that there was no possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. The justification is the six bus shelters are contained within the existing developed right -of- way of Coast Highway. Prepared by: Brad Sommers Associate Engineer Submitted by:
