Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2014-107 authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 3 to the contract with Felix Construction Company for the Hutton Lift Station Rehabilitation project and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
On June 17, 2014 the City Council awarded the bid for the Hutton Lift Station rehabilitation to Felix Construction Company in the amount of $662,412. Change Order No. 1 was executed administratively on September 23, 2014 in the amount of $35,480.99 for the replacement of the pump riser piping, which was priced as an alternate with the original bid. On November 4, 2014 City Council approved Change Order No 2 in the amount of $54,509.89 to provide bypass pumping to prevent possible sanitary sewer overflows due to the failure of the existing pump controls.
Hutton Lift Station continues to present itself with continuing poor conditions during the construction process. Coating of the wet well interior was an alternate item to the original bid. After the bypass pumping was implemented with Change Order No. 2, the wet well was able to be inspected and was determined to be in need of a new protective coating.
DISCUSSION:
Felix Construction Company has provided additional cost and contract days for the alternate item of coating the wet well walls. This cost for this additional work is $65,838. This price is less than the alternate bid due to the bypass pumping already in place with Change Order No. 2. This coating of the wet well walls will increase the reliability and the life of the lift station. The execution of Change Order No. 3 will increase the total contract amount to $818,240.88. Funding is available in the non-bond utility capital improvement program.
This item is consistent with Core Value No. 5 to provide functional, sustainable, and well maintained infrastructure, facilities, and equipment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended motion by City Administration is to approve Resolution No. 2014-107 authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 3 to the contract with Felix Construction Company in an increase amount of $65,838.
