Summary
Staff recommended approval of a change order of $86,918.72 for Project 153120-C1-9 to relocate an existing 8-inch water line that conflicted with proposed drainage-wall footings; staff said the increase is 3.49% of the contract value and that the work adds zero calendar days to the schedule.
City staff presented change order number 1 to Contract No. 137229 (Project 153120-C1-9) to relocate an existing 8-inch water line that conflicted with proposed drainage wall footings and subbase work. The change order amount presented was $86,918.72 and staff said it represents a 3.49% increase to the contract and would add zero calendar days.
Staff explained the existing water line is older and that excavation around deteriorating lines risks causing later leaks; therefore staff recommended removing and replacing the line to prevent future problems. Staff said the Water and Sewer Department provided the necessary funding for the work and recommended approval of the change order. The item was scheduled for City Council consideration on Oct. 15.
