Recommendation
Motion to Approve Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $85,008 with MBR Construction, Inc. for the Beach Master Plan (Project No. 15-008).
Body
Background:
On March 13, 2017, the City awarded a contract to MBR Construction, Inc. (MBR) for the Beach Master Plan. On March 20, 2017, MBR was given the Notice to Proceed date of April 3, 2017. At that time, staff directed MBR to mobilize to the north end of the project to accommodate beach access by the public for this season. MBR has identified an issue concerning the contracted repairs to the existing knee-wall. MBR cannot guarantee that additional rust spots in the knee-wall will not appear at new locations in the future. Therefore, staff along with MBR recommends completely encapsulating the knee-wall in a new concrete reinforced wall.
Change Order No. 2 is to completely encapsulate approximately 2,800 linear feet of the existing knee-wall in a concrete reinforced cap that is about 4” thick on each side. The proposed design allows for the possibility of a one inch separation of the existing knee-wall from the cap (pending final structural engineering design). This design will effectively prevent any potential rusting of the existing re-bar from penetrating into the new knee-wall cap. Furthermore, the reinforced knee-wall cap will be constructed with galvanized reinforcing steel. The galvanized reinforcing steel will further add an additional layer of protection in the highly corrosive marine environment of the beach.
With the addition of a minimum of four inches of concrete on each side of the existing knee-wall, the new dimensions of the knee-wall will be approximately 26” wide by 22” high. This ad...
