The Contractor experienced multiple delays attributable to permitting issues, late design responses, revised requirements, and differing site conditions beyond the Contractor's control. The Contract documents required the new 60-inch force main to connect to an existing 72-inch ductile iron pipe at the intersection of NW 6th Avenue and NW 159th Street. Field conditions were found to differ from those reflected in the design drawings. The cost associated with the relocation of a 16-inch water main belonging to the City of North Miami Beach as well as the exploratory excavation was $171,443.06. The Contractor incurred $516,086.33 in costs associated with planning and attempting the connection. The existing 72-inch pipeline could not be taken out of service without disrupting wastewater conveyance for the service area. The Contractor will be paid $687,529.39 for its efforts. The Project required permits from the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources due to tree canopies and root systems located along the pipeline installation corridor. Permit requirements included an arborist study, tree risk assessments, preparation of a landscape plan, and the removal and replacement of more than 115 trees. The Contractor will be paid $394,260.99 for the work associated with the RER permits. The Contractor encountered failures of existing asbestos cement pipe during installation of the 60-inch force main along NE and NW 162nd Street and the surrounding areas. Six separate failures occurred, which resulted in production delays, installation interruptions, flooded trenches that required emergency site cleanup, coordination with NMB crews for repairs, safety hazards due to trench instability and underground voids, and repeated remobilizations and traffic control adjustments. The Contractor will be paid $345,757.80 for this work. During installation of the sheet pile on NW 161st Street, the Contractor encountered utilities and site conditions not shown on the design plans. The Contractor relocated the existing conduits. The cost associated with this work is $46,309.59. During installation of the 60-inch force main along the Project corridor, the Contractor encountered underground utilities that had not been identified despite the submission of 811 Sunshine locate tickets and completion of field verification efforts. Attempts to obtain as-built drawings from FPL were unsuccessful. The total cost associated with these efforts is $152,287.33. Additional roadway restoration was required following installation of the 60-inch force main due to deteriorated roadway conditions in the areas of NW 6th Avenue, North Miami Avenue, and NE 162nd Street. The Contractor removed the deteriorated asphalt and repaved the affected area. The Contractor will be compensated $6,541.35 for this roadway work.
