Title
Approve Contract Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $252,544.50 and extend the date of completion to April 11, 2023 for the Sewer Rehabilitation in the Area Bound by Blackstone, Maroa, McKinley, and Clinton Avenues Project ID RC00177 (Bid File 3836) (Council Districts 1 and 7).
Body
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that City Council approve Contract Change Order No. 1 with Emmett’s Excavation, Inc., for a total increase in Contract amount of $252,544.50 and thirty (30) additional working days.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On April 21, 2022, a Contract was awarded in the amount of $1,578,078.00 to Emmett’s Excavation, Inc., for the Sewer Rehabilitation in the area bound by Blackstone, Maroa, McKinley and Clinton Avenues, utilizing the Cured In-place Pipe Process (CIPP). During the design engineer’s review of the CCTV video, significant sections of sewer main were found to be unsuitable for CIPP rehabilitation and requires replacement by traditional trenching methods. This contract change order covers the additional cost and contract time to complete the necessary work related to these unforeseen conditions. Sufficient funding is already in place for the additional work through the adopted capital improvement budget.
