SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CHANGE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF
$11,948.07 TO PARKER EXCAVATING, INC., FOR PROJECT NO. 23-

SUMMARY:
This Resolution awards a change order in the amount of $11,948.07 to Parker
Excavating, Inc., for Project No. 23-044 West 31st Street at Wild Horse Creek -
Emergency Repair.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Resolution 15134, dated February 13, 2023, ratified and approved the award of an
emergency construction contract to Parker Excavating, Inc., for Project No. 23-044
West 31st Street at Wild Horse Creek - Emergency Repair.
BACKGROUND:
On December 13, 2022, the City of Pueblo Public Works Department received an
Essential Repair Letter (ERL) from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)
for URGENT priority repairs needed on the bridge at West 31st Street over the Wild
Horse Creek. CDOT uses a third-party engineering firm (Stantec) to annually inspect
all City of Pueblo bridges and culverts within the CDOT inspection program. There are
approximately 41 city bridges and major culverts that are enrolled in this inspection
program. In the most recent inspection, conducted on December 6, 2022, Stantec
found that the approach sidewalk just northwest of the culvert is severely undermined
and has caused the curb and gutter and sidewalk to settle. This settling is preventing
storm water drainage from flowing properly to the inlets. Water is overflowing the
sidewalk and eroding the embankment, further exacerbating the settling and
undermining of the sidewalk.
The project consisted of replacing the settled sidewalk along with the curb and gutter
sections to return them to the correct elevations, filling in the void areas under the
sidewalk, repairs to the roadway, and stabilizing the embankment.
This Resolution increases the contract amount to Parker Excavating, Inc., due to
excavation of the subgrade soils that were saturated and soft, requiring stabilization
with Geogrid Material Perforated paper and extra flowable fill material.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $11,948.07 will be paid from account CI2309, Road & Street
Repairs.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not approving this Resolution would require a finding that there was not an emergency
condition.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
