Board approves LJA task order amendment and change order for 2025 sewer rehabilitation; adds time for pump‑station work
Summary
The board approved a $31,436 amendment to LJA’s task order for additional warranty and construction‑administration work and approved a related change order that decreases contract value by $2,800 but adds 26 days to the schedule to incorporate pump‑station suction‑line replacements and warranty repairs.
Valerie, a staff member, asked the board to approve two related items for the 2025 sewer rehabilitation project: LJA Task Order Amendment #1 for $31,436 to cover additional construction administration and warranty coordination, and Change Order #1 to balance quantities, which reduces the contract amount by $2,800 but adds 26 calendar days to the contractor’s time.
On the LJA amendment, Valerie said the department has been partnering with developers on warranty issues for Protecto 401 liners on ductile iron pipe; when the Protecto 401 liner is damaged, hydrogen sulfide can enter cracks and "eat away at the iron below that liner," requiring a cured‑in‑place liner to protect the new pipe. She said developers pay for their portion of that warranty work.
Valerie also described planned additions to the rehabilitation contract to replace suction lines at two pump stations (Pacific Place and Halstead) because repeated hydrogen sulfide damage has caused holes and loss of prime at pumps; SSR is designing the pump‑station work but staff secured pricing from SBW to add the two pump stations into the current rehab contract to avoid future outages. Emergency repairs already performed at the North Thompson Lane station were noted as part of the change order review.
Both items were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript records the motions and their passage but does not list mover/second names or a roll‑call tally.
