BACKGROUND:
On August 16, 2016 the City authorized professional services construction administration and inspection services contract 2016-0570 with SKA Consulting Engineers, Inc., in the amount of $295,000 to support the Structural and Sedimentation Basin Rehabilitation Project at the Mitchell WTP. The original contract included onsite observations and field checks of materials and equipment during construction. The original construction timeframe was estimated to be 8 months, however, the actual construction duration stands at 9 months with another 6 months projected until completion. Additional work contained within in the change order also includes design work due to unforeseen conditions and additional review and documentation of work installed and replaced. The change order will allow the engineering team to extend their onsite observation, evaluation and technical guidance of the work necessary for the completion of the project. This change order also provides an opportunity to increase the MWBE participation on the project. The Construction Administration and Inspection team for the original contract included SKA Consulting Engineers, Inc., and Critek Engineering Group, PC, a local MBE. The MBE commitment for this change order is 7.9% MBE, which brings the overall MBE participation on the contract to 9.3%.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funding in the amount of $150,900 is budgeted in the Water Resources Capital Improvements Fund account 503-7028-04.5410 (Professional Services). A budget adjustment is required to use this account.
