Title
Consideration of and action on accepting completion of the 2024 Waterline Improvement Project.
Body
Summary: In December 2023, Council approved the purchase of services from SKE Construction, through the Buy Board, to perform the 2024 Waterline Rehabilitation Project. The project consisted of removing 2-inch waterlines that were located within the backyard easements of the residential neighborhoods between 1st Street and 5th Street and installing new 6-inch HDPE waterlines within the right-of-way in front of the residences. This project not only increases the flow pressure, fire protection and water resiliency in this neighborhood but by relocating the waterlines from the backyards to the street right-of-way, it will allow for placement of the new AMI meters when that project is ready for installation.
The original contract amount was $551,663.78. In early February a change order was issued for an additional $49,620.00. The change order was necessary due to the finding in the field during construction. With this being one of the original neighborhoods constructed in Deer Park, what we found underground didn't match the old construction drawings and therefor we had to add an additional 740 linear feet of waterline along with 3 additional wet connections. The change order brought the contract price up to $601,283.78.
The final construction cost was $605,941.78 which is $4,658.00 over the contract amount. We have attached a balancing change order for your approval, to incorporate the additional $4,658.00 to the contract. The balancing change order covers all overages and underage of the individual line items for this project.
