PURPOSE:
Water Resources desires to add additional project areas to contract 2012-076 that require water line rehabilitation with funding approved in the FY 14-15 budget. This ongoing effort is critical for ensuring the intergrity of the City's distribution system. Approval of contract change order #1 is requested in order to add the new project areas.
BACKGROUND:
Contract 2012-0760 M resolution number 305-13 dated October 15, 2013 was awarded to Heitkamp, Inc. in the amount of $3,449,107.00 for epoxy lining in various locations around the city. When this contract was bid, the City reserved the right to extend it as a "Unit Price Contract" on an annual basis which is accounted for in the current adopted operating budget. Water Resources is continuing rehabilitation of waterlines installed in the 1930's and 1940's throughout the city. Funding in the amount of $1,968,000.00 is needed to rehabilitate an additional 34,200 linear feet of water line.
When this project was bid, the contractor met the M/WBE goal set for the project with a commitment of MBE 3.0% and WBE 4.0%, and the additional work will also meet that commitment.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funds for this change order is available in the following Water Resources account: 503-7024-01.6016 A15034 in the amount of $1,968,000.00 for epoxy rehabilitation.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Water Resources Department recommends and requests that City Council adopt a resolution authorizing change order number 1 to contract 2012-076 for $1,968,000.00 in order to continue epoxy rehabilitation to existing water lines.
