Board approves $11,700 wetlands-delineation amendment for French Road booster-station design
Summary
The Board approved Amendment No. 1 to Strand Associates’ design contract to add wetlands-delineation services for the French Road Crestwood Booster Station after staff identified an intermittent stream crossing; the amendment cost is $11,700 and funding comes from the project’s capital improvements budget.
The Board of Public Works and Utilities on May 5 approved Amendment No. 1 to the Strand Associates design contract for the French Road Crestwood Booster Station water-main project to add wetlands-delineation services after staff identified potential wetlands at an intermittent stream crossing.
A staff presenter explained that the design team initially hoped to forego a wetlands delineation but that mapping and a field crossing prompted the change. “We did look into this project at the beginning of the design, and we were hoping to forego wetland delineation. But due to an intermittent stream crossing and some wetlands being shown on the DNR wetlands viewer in the golf course area, we are going to be required to do a wetlands delineation,” the presenter said.
The amendment adds wetlands and waterways subconsulting work and was stated to cost $11,700. The presenter said the funding for the work is included in the project design budget funded through the capital improvements budget. The presenter also explained the amendment increases the contract compensation: the base contract was $99,700 and with the amendment the total contract compensation becomes $111,400 (an increase of $11,700).
Jim Manash moved to approve the amendment; Larry Juracek seconded. The board voted by voice and the motion carried unanimously. The clerk announced the amendment approval and confirmed funding is available in the capital improvements budget.
No additional conditions or amendments were recorded during the discussion.
