PASSED and APPROVED on September 1, 2026 Approved: _______________________________ Molly Rawn, Mayor Attest: _______________________________ Kara Paxton, City Clerk Treasurer Docusign Envelope ID: 63870A09-A886-82E7-82C6-0235D745C978 Mailing address: 113 W. Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 www.fayetteville-ar.gov CITY COUNCIL MEMO 2026-2813 MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2026 TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council THROUGH: Keith Macedo, Chief Information Officer FROM: Tim Nyander, Utilities Director SUBJECT: Nabholz Construction Corp. - Change Order No. 3 for the I-49 & MLK Utility Relocations Phase II Project RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Change Order No. 3 to the contract with Nabholz Construction Corp. which will increase the contract amount by $687,340.18 for the relocation of water and sewer utilities impacting ARDOT’s road widening project along MLK and the HWY-62/I-49 Interchange., and approval of a budget amendment. BACKGROUND: In April 2025, the City Council approved a contract with Nabholz Construction (Res. 101-25) for the relocation of water and sewer utilities impacting ARDOT’s road widening project along MLK and the HWY-62/I-49 Interchange. This project is substantially complete, with only final cleanup and closeout documentation processes remaining. Change Order No. 1 was previously approved for realignment during construction of an 8-inch diameter waterline due to ongoing easement negotiations after start of construction. Change Order No. 2 was previously approved for connection of water and sewer services at Centennial Bank. These services were not in the locations assumed, and significant re-routing was necessary on the bank property. DISCUSSION: Change Order No. 3 is necessary for costs incurred by restoring private parking lots and drive aisles that failed significantly more than anticipated during construction. Much of this project required installation of new water and sewer lines in newly acquired public easements through private parking lots due to lack of room by the widened ARDOT right of way. The bid documents specified quantities of rock backfill, asphalt paving, concrete paving, and concrete curb/gutter based on typical trenching widths and the assumption that these areas would not substantially degrade during construction. However, many of these parking lots failed significantly during construction, requiring excess quantities to be used in repair and reconstruction activities after the utilities were installed. The project did realize other cost savings and scope reductions, but in net the end-of-project reconciliation will require a change order. Based on previous project change orders, the remaining funds from the original project contingency is $356,785.80. Once this contingency is utilized, additional funds must be approved by the City Council. This change order will require an additional $330,554.38 beyond the original contingency. Based on the Relocation Agreement for this project, ARDOT will be responsible for 72.54% of this cost and the City 27.46%, or $90,770.23.

Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 www.fayetteville-ar.gov Furthermore, the overall Relocation Agreement with ARDOT will reconcile below its original estimate. Based on the most recent Change Order No. 5 of the ARDOT Relocation Agreement (total project cost of $25,294,663.64) the project is expected to reconcile ‘under budget’ by approximately $850,000.00 through a subsequent reconciliation change order. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: Previously approved contingency funds are available in the amount of $356,785.80. A budget amendment is attached to move the remaining amount of $330,554.38 from within the Easements account of the same project to cover the cost of Change Order No. 3. ATTACHMENTS: 3.
