Discussion:
On April 26, 2007, City Council approved Contract No. C25570A with Yeager
Skanska Inc, for the Improvements of Assessment District 29 2004-02, in the
amount of $14,470,270.58 plus a 10% contingency.
During the public bidding process staff received a request for the inclusion of an
alternate geo-textile slope protection material required for the construction of the
project retention basin. The City Engineer agreed to allow the alternate and
bidders were advised of this.
Subsequent to the November 2, 2006, bid opening date, the vendor for the
original geo-textile material challenged the alternate as not being an "approved

equal." In response, City staff met with the manufacturer and vendor of the
original material and reviewed all available technical data, tests and material
sources.
As a result, staff agreed that the alternate material allowed for in the bid
documents was indeed not an approved equal.
The successful bidder of the project, Yeager Skanska Inc., was advised of this
matter and was requested to submit a cost estimate for the original geo-textile
material. They have provided the cost and staff has reviewed the submittal and
concurs with the value.
Funds are available for this in account number 469-4350-433-4001.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council approve Change Order No. 1 to
Contract No. C25570A for the construction of Section 29 Assessment District
2004-02 with Yeager Skanska, Inc. in the amount of $97,076.80, move
$97,076.80, from contingency to base, and authorize the Mayor to execute the
same.
