College Place approves $357,300 amendment to Reservoir 4 design contract
Summary
Council approved an amendment to JUB Engineers' contract adding $357,300 to cover redesign work after the Reservoir 4 tower was upsized to 1 million gallons, FAA approvals and project-splitting into three bid packages.
The College Place City Council on March 25 approved an amendment to the city’s design contract with JUB Engineers increasing the professional services authorization by $357,300 to support redesign and permitting for the Reservoir 4 water tower and associated transmission main.
City staff said the city initially contracted with JUB when the planned tower capacity was 500,000 gallons; the tower has since been upsized to 1,000,000 gallons, required FAA approvals because of proximity to Martin Airfield, and prompted additional surveying and permitting work. Mr. McAndrews, city staff, told the council the project now needs to be separated into three distinct bid packages — the portion of the transmission main within the Majondra Road extents, the transmission main from city limits to the tower, and the water tower itself — and that JUB needs added scope to prepare designs and bid documents for each package.
McAndrews summarized the reason for the amendment: “this would be an amendment to JUB's contract increasing the contract by $357,300 so that all of that work can be done.” Council members expressed appreciation for the forward planning during brief discussion.
Council Member Peterson moved to approve the amendment; Council Member Espinosa seconded. The council voted by voice and the motion passed with the ayes prevailing and no recorded opposition.
Staff said the additional work also includes coordination for funding and permitting routed through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and additional surveying; the project will be bid out as separate components to allow different contractors to build each portion.
