BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
On February 21, 2023, the City Council awarded Bid 22-294 to Bolder Contractors, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $2,130,027 to install a water main on 11th Avenue between Washington Street and Columbia Street. The contract has an approved contingency amount of $63,900.81.
DISCUSSION:
Unforeseen site conditions beyond the contractor’s control necessitated this Change Order. Specifically, this Change Order includes final balancing changes reflecting as-built quantities for the contract pay items along with extra work items deemed necessary to ensure a successful project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP #: WU400- 11th Ave Watermain Improvements
Watermain Improvements on 11th Avenue is expensed to the account number listed below. The project cost is currently 2% over the approved budget of $1,986,700 and is estimated to be 18% overbudget at final balancing including approved contingency. However, as a result of delays in other planned watermain improvement projects for 2023 such as WU402, which was budgeted at $5.9M and was deferred, the overage can be accommodated within the fund. Any expenses in 2024 are expected to be minimal for items such as contract retainage and is anticipated to be absorbed within the overall Water Capital Program. Staff will monitor expenditures to ensure compliance with budgetary guidelines.
