Project Description: The Academy Boulevard Reconstruction from Bijou Street to Airport Road (north segment) and from Fountain Boulevard to Milton E Proby Parkway (south segment) are PPRTA ‘A’ list projects. Academy Boulevard is a six-lane road with poor pavement quality and deteriorated curb, gutter, and medians requiring replacement. Poor drainage is contributing to pavement decline, so a new storm water system is being designed to alleviate ponding issues. Planned improvements incorporate a 10-foot- wide multi-use path.
The City and PPRTA awarded Ames Construction, Inc. the contract following the July 23, 2022, Board meeting.
Ames will continue to work on the North Segment to completion. The City has decided to descope the remaining South Segment work from Ames’ contract. Ames will be paid for the work completed per the terms of the contract.
The City requests the PPRTA Board approve a construction change order for Ames Construction, Inc. reducing the contract by $29,000,201.77.
The revised contract amount for the work performed is $33,483,555.23 as outlined in the following table.
