Change orders will be submitted using the unit prices from the original bid tabs when possible. If unit prices for the work area aren't included in the original paid items list, the City and the Contractor will negotiate a price. The City will conduct a cost analysis and submit the proposal from the contractor as backup documentation to BLP. | |||
Line items shall never be completely removed from the original bid tabs/paid items list. | |||

Introduction
The construction phase of projects is very visible and generally there are travel/inconveniences and neighborhood disruptions. For this reason, it is the most important phase for City staff and Consultants to plan for the least possible construction time period.
A partnering or the team approach usually is recommended. The Contractor, utility companies, City staff and Consultant all work as a team to construct the project. The tasks in this and previous phases facilitates this partnering process. In order to have a successful project, the following must occur:
|
Phase V Checklist
Task No. 1 - Prepare for Temporary Financing
The Law Department will prepare the documents for providing project temporary financing when required.
Task No. 2 - Submit Agency Cash Flow Projection
Prior to Notice to Proceed, the Project Manager shall submit to the project funding agencies, if required, a project cash flow projection on their standard forms. Currently, Johnson County CARS, Johnson County SMAC and KDOT do not require a cash flow projection.
Task No. 3 - Submit Cash Flow Projection to City Finance Department
Prior to Notice to Proceed, the Project Manager shall submit a cash flow for the project (update if applicable) to the City Finance Department.
See Phase II, Task No. 6 for standard cash flow form.
Task No. 4 - Distribute Executed Contract Documents
Copies of the Contract Documents need to be prepared for the Contractor’s execution. The Agreement, Performance Bond, Maintenance Bond, Statutory Bond and/or Labor and Material Payment Bond, and Appointment of Service Agent are partially filled out by the Contract Specialist and provided to the Contractor for execution. The Appointment of Service Agent is not required if the Contractor’s business is located in the state of Kansas or if the Contractor is located outside of Kansas but is on file and in good standing with the State. The Contract Specialist will obtain this information through the Kansas Secretary of State’s office.
The Contractor is given ten (10) days to execute their part of the Contract Documents. The Contractor must have all insurance certificates, bonds and Appointment of Service Agent filled out, sealed, with Power of Attorneys attached. The Contract Specialist will review the insurance certificates to ensure compliance with the requirements set forth in the Instructions to Bidders.
After review by the Contract Specialist, the Contract Documents are submitted to the Law Department for review and "approval as to form." After Law Department review, they are submitted to the City Clerk's office for signature by the Mayor and attestation by the City Clerk.
- Exhibit No. V-4a is a sample transmittal letter to the Contractor.
Upon return of the signed copies by the City Clerk, three fully executed sets are given to the Contractor (one is to be forwarded to the Contractor’s surety company and one to their insurance company), one is given to the consultant, one is kept in the Public Works file, and one goes to the City Clerk with the award/reject letters. The remaining sets are provided to various other agencies as needed (i.e.: for CARS projects the City must submit to the Johnson County Director of Infrastructure, one copy of the executed Contract Documents and a half size set of signed and sealed Construction Plans along with a CD containing a .pdf version of the executed Contract Documents and Construction Plans.) The County also requires a list of CARS non-participating items with the transmittal. The City must also request and receive a "Notice to Proceed" from the Johnson County Director of Infrastructure before initiating construction on a project. For a letter detailing the CARS requirements see Exhibit No. III-9c.
- Exhibit No. V-4b is a sample Contract Document and Plans transmittal letter to CARS with request for "Notice to Proceed".
- Exhibit No. V-4c is a distribution list of agencies and personnel that are to receive executed Contract Documents and Final Plans.
In addition to contract documents sent to BLP electronically, provide BLP PM with half-size set of construction plans.
Prior to issuing Notice to Proceed for KDOT projects, the Project Manager will request from the contractor copies of all subcontracts. The Project Manager will verify that each of these subcontracts contain FHWA 1273 documents.
