County requests $48,340 contract amendment for Fire Station No. 3 waterline work

Summary
County manager requested a $48,340 amendment to cover additional waterline relocation and pipe extension work after a site reorientation in the Fire Station No. 3 design-build project; funds would come from existing contingency (Spla 6) and Townley Construction is proposed to perform the work.
County Manager Joey Lehi told commissioners on Feb. 19 that a design change requiring reorientation of Fire Station No. 3 moved the mechanical room and utility connections, which in turn required additional vault relocation and extension of water pipework.
Lehi said the work would be performed by Townley Construction and that the county would use contingency funds to cover an additional $48,340 for the waterline work. “We have, exceeded or we will exceed if when this work's approved, the existing contingency,” Lehi said, explaining the need to request the additional dollars. He added he expects the construction phase to come in under budget overall.
Staff presented the amendment as a request to use existing contingency funds (identified in the packet as Spla 6 funds) to complete the required pipeline work. Commissioners did not take a final vote during the work session; Lehi asked Commissioners to approve the amendment so construction can proceed as weather allows.
