Commission approves contract amendment to anchor Green Island docks to bedrock
Summary
Facing boulders that prevented pile driving, the commission authorized an amendment to the AP Real LLC dock contract to pin piles to rock, approving a $9,507.92 increase plus a $10,000 contingency and a contract extension to May 31, 2026.
Construction of two pile-driven docks at the Green Island Marine Facility encountered large boulders on the lake bed that precluded traditional pile driving. The commission approved an amendment Jan. 27 allowing the contractor (AP Real LLC) to pin piles to bedrock, which staff said requires additional dive time and hardware. The resolution authorizes a $9,507.92 increase to cover the specific hardware and labor, authorizes up to $10,000 of additional contingency, and extends the contract deadline to May 31, 2026; the motion carried by voice vote.
Staff explained that even with the amendment the low bid remains roughly $50,000 less than the next-lowest proposal and that the pinning method is an accepted alternative where piles cannot be driven. The commission authorized staff to prepare and execute the contract amendments subject to review by the Office of the State Controller.
