FROM: Jason Bauer, P.E., Professional Engineer
DATE: August 14, 2015
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to execute the Contract Change Order with H. Linden & Sons Sewer & Water, Inc. for the 2013 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
PURPOSE:
To increase the Contract by $79,242.00 from the original value of $604,554 to a new Contract amount of $683,786.00.
BACKGROUND:
The Change Order is necessary to increase the Contract value to address unforeseen circumstances that arose during construction. The original plans called for the replacement of a sagging sewer on Stolp Avenue north of Galena Boulevard via conventional trenching methods. Due to various utility conflicts that were discovered during construction, it was required to auger bore the sewer in lieu of the conventional methods. This added significant cost and also required restoration of the streetscape along Stolp Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
The existing 10" sanitary sewer had a sag of approximately 1.5 feet, which led to continual sewer backups and was an ongoing maintenance issue for the City. Replacement of this sewer will reduce maintenance efforts and avoid any future property damage that would occur from any blockages. The 2015 CIP has budgeted funds for this work within project IB018 account number 510-4063-511-73.14.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Increasing this Contract will allow for the replacement of the sewer to reduce maintenance costs and avoid any future property damage. The work was scheduled to avoid disruption to any ongoing activities in the downtown area.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
We respectfully request this resolution be forwarded on to the BGI Committee for their review and recommendation for approval.
