a study of bridge repair options with cost analysis, lead paint testing, and the addition of Construction Phase
Services. The Maximum Not to Exceed Amount will be increased by $83,585.
BACKGROUND:
The Lake Sequoyah bridge appears to have been in place since at least 1980 according to aerial photography.
This bridge receives annual inspections from ARDOT similarly to all bridges within the area. The bridge needs
several routine and important maintenance repairs according to ARDOT. These are specialty repairs that are
not within the expertise of City staff; therefore a contractor is needed to complete the repairs.
DISCUSSION:
This amendment updates the previous original contract between the City of Fayetteville and Garver, LLC dated
February 01, 2022. Added services to this agreement include a study of bridge repair options with cost
analysis, lead paint testing, and the addition of Construction Phase Services.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Funds for this project will be from the Sales Tax Capital Improvement Fund and from the 2024 Transportation
Bond Funds.

Lake Sequoyah Bridge Rehabilitation Garver Project No. 15047010
B. Evaluate and respond to construction material submittals and shop drawings. Corrections or
comments made by Garver on the shop drawings during this review will not relieve Contractor
from compliance with requirements of the drawings and specifications. The check will only be for
review of general conformance with the design concept of the project and general compliance with
the information given in the contract documents. The Contractor will be responsible for confirming
and correlating all quantities and dimensions, selecting fabrication processes and techniques of
construction, coordinating his work with that of all other trades, and performing his work in a safe
and satisfactory manner. Garver’s review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or
constitute approval of construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, procedures, or
assembly of various components. When certification of performance characteristics of
materials, systems or equipment is required by the Contract Documents, either directly or
implied for a complete and workable system, Garver shall be entitled to rely upon such
submittal or implied certification to establish that the materials, systems or equipment will meet
the performance criteria required by the Contract Documents.
C. Issue instructions to the Contractor on behalf of the Owner and issue necessary clarifications
(respond to RFIs) regarding the construction contract documents.
D. Review the progress payment request received from the Contractor and make a
recommendation to the Owner regarding payment. Garver’s recommendation for payment
shall not be a representation that Garver has made exhaustive or continuous inspections to (1)
check the quality or exact quantities of the Work; (2) to review billings from Subcontractors and
material suppliers to substantiate the Contractor’s right to payment; or (3) to ascertain how the
Contractor has used money previously paid to the Contractor.
E. When requested by the Contactor or City, provide on-site recommendations on the extent and
type of deck repairs and joint armor replacement. Construction engineering and inspection will
be performed on an on-call basis and will be capped at a total of 120 hours.
F. When authorized by the Owner, prepare change orders for changes in the work from that
originally provided for in the construction contract documents. If redesign or substantial
engineering or surveying is required in the preparation of these change order documents, the
Owner will pay Garver an additional fee to be agreed upon by the Owner and Garver.
G. Participate in final project inspection, prepare punch list, review final project closing documents,
and review the final pay request.
