Consideration of Change Order No. 3 with Superior Bowen Asphalt Company, LLC for construction of the Black Bob Road, 159th to 167th, Improvements Project, PN 3-C-008-22.

Body

________________________________________________________________________________

Summary:

This project is a joint project with Johnson County and will improve Black Bob Road from 159th Street to 167th Street from a 2-lane roadway to a 4-lane divided arterial section.  Improvements will include pavement construction, bike lanes, curb and gutter, medians, streetlights, sidewalk and sidepath and storm sewers.

 

On March 4, 2025, City Council awarded a contract to Superior Bowen Asphalt Company, LLC for construction of this project. Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $194,144.92 will allow the City to reimburse the contractor for improving the existing subgrade. Prior to pavement placement, the existing subgrade was tested, and a sizeable amount of the existing subgrade was found to be too weak to support the long-term traffic needs of the future roadway. The proposed subgrade stabilization method in Change Order No. 3 will provide the needed subgrade improvement for this important arterial roadway.

 

Construction began in March 2025 and is tentatively scheduled to be completed in Spring 2026.
