COUNCIL GOALS:
• Invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by maintaining and improving the city's existing infrastructure.
• Invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by providing for the development of new infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
On December 14, 2021, City Council awarded a construction contract with GRBCON Inc. in the amount of $706,746.00 and authorized a contingency amount of $70,674.60 for a total contract authorization of $777,420.60 for the construction of the Valley Boulevard/Kaiser Sewer Project.
During the construction, the contractor encountered unforeseen field conditions as follows:
• Additional cost to move work from normal business hours to night work was necessary for safety and reduced impacts to the residents and businesses in this area.
• An unanticipated gas line interfered with the placement of the proposed sewer main which required a redesign and field change to allow the new sewer main to be installed.
In order to complete the Project, it is recommended that City Council approve an amendment of the construction contract to issue contract change orders in the amount of $160,317.15 to cover the unforeseen items. The project is under construction and completion is expected by December 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, this will increase appropriations in the Valley Blvd./ Kaiser Sewer Project 38104332-703-A-8331 in the amount of $160,317.15. Appropriate paperwork will be submitted to the Budget office with FY 2022-23 Mid-Year adjustments.
