BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The City Council awarded Work Order 22-067-WATER-25-01 to Ciorba Group on April 2, 2025, with a completion date of December 31, 2026.
The purpose of this Work Order is to provide construction management services for the Ogden Avenue and Washington Street Water Main Improvements.
DISCUSSION:
Change Order #1 is requested to compensate for additional construction management services and to extend the completion date from December 31, 2026 to July 30, 2027. Extending the consultant’s contract to 2027 allows them to be available for the spring punch list walkthrough, any remedial work, and final closeout.
Construction delays have resulted in the final completion date for construction shifting from October 31, 2025, to the summer 2026. This Change Order includes the necessary extension of construction management services.
Staff recommends approval of this Change Order to ensure adequate construction engineering services are provided for completion of the 2025 Ogden Avenue & Washington Street Water Main Improvements.
