Transportation Commission approves $1.75 million supplemental for Route 50 South Lake Tahoe project
Summary
The California Transportation Commission approved a $1,750,000 supplemental allocation to compensate the contractor for third-season work and utility relocation delays on the Route 50 improvements in South Lake Tahoe.
The California Transportation Commission on an item presented by staff approved a $1,750,000 supplemental allocation for the Route 50 improvements in South Lake Tahoe to cover costs tied to extended construction.
Staff said the project — a combined STIP/SHOP effort — constructs curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bike lanes, landscaping, lighting and stormwater collection and treatment facilities needed for Tahoe Regional Water Quality Control Board compliance. Most utility relocations were expected to be completed by utility companies before state construction began; when most relocations were not finished the state contractor had to resequence work and the project experienced delays. Unidentified service connections and additional field conflicts required design changes and extended the contract into a third construction season, staff said. "The contractor has done the work and needs to be compensated," staff told the commission.
Commissioner Gilmetti moved the supplemental allocation and Commissioner Tavolone seconded. The chair called for the vote; commissioners replied in the affirmative and the motion carried.
The action authorizes payment to the contractor to close out the contract; staff did not present a revised total project cost in the meeting record. No dissenting votes were recorded on the transcript for this item.
The item was presented and voted on at the meeting; staff recommended approval and commissioners acted on that recommendation.
