Agenda 06/14/2022 Item #16G1 (Change Order #1 to Agreement #21-7987 w/Quality Enterprises USA, Inc.)06/14/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve Change Order #1 to Agreement No. 21-7897, “Everglades Airpark
Rehab Runway 15/33,” with Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., to increase the contract amount by
$209,861.73, and approve all necessary budget amendments.
OBJECTIVE: To approve a Change Order increasing Agreement No. 21-7897 by $209,861.73 to
rehabilitate Runway 15/33 at the Everglades Airpark (X01), to account for an increased amount of
limerock material due to settlement.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 28, 2021 (Agenda Item 14A.1) the Board awarded Agreement No
21-7897 to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. for the construction of the Everglades Airpark’s Runway 15/33
Rehabilitation in the amount of $1,748,853.75.
The Everglades Runway Rehabilitation project used a greater quantity of limerock than stipulated in the
construction plans. The original plans specified a 6” section of limerock base; however, the contractor
required additional limerock placed to construct the project due to settlement. Staff anticipated the
settlement based on the findings of the geotechnical investigation, which indicated that soils were high in
organic content and clay content. Therefore, appropriate actions were taken to mitigate the amount of
settlement.
A layer of geotextile reinforcement was placed between the stabilized subgrade and the limerock base of
the pavement section throughout the entire surface area of the runway. Geotextile reinforcement reduces
the risk of differential settlement and improves the serviceability of the pavement. However, during the
placement of the limerock base, contractors encountered higher than anticipated settlement-
approximately 10 to 14 inches in the areas of the runway widening, likely due to the high ground water
table in the project area which is tidally influenced. Unfortunately, additional geotextile fabric could not
be placed underneath the subgrade to further reduce settlement due to the high-water table. Placing
geotextile fabric below the subgrade would have required extensive de-watering operations, significantly
increasing project costs, and posing an environmental risk to nearby wetlands. Densities, as specified in
the FAA P-211 technical specification, were therefore difficult to achieve and necessitated the placement
of additional limerock. If densities are not achieved, the FAA P-211 technical specification, requires that
the area must be reworked and recompacted until the specified density is reached. That procedure was
repeated until the specification was satisfied.
Staff recommends approval of the attached Change Order No. 1 because the application of the additional
limerock was necessary to meet the technical specifications of the project and to keep the integrity of the
identified pavement section.
FISCAL IMPACT: This change order will increase the overall bid total by $209,861.73. Budget
amendments are necessary to reallocate funds within the Airport Capital Fund (496) from Reserves to
Project 33709. The Collier County Airport Authority (CCAA) will request additional fu nding from the
Federal Aviation Administration for this project.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to
this item.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority
vote for Board approval.-SRT
