BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The City of Naperville’s Water Utilities maintain eight (8) emergency standby deep wells, which are operated and sampled monthly to ensure function when needed. The emergency standby well system will provide the City with water in the event of a prolonged interruption of the delivery of water from the DuPage Water Commission. The goal of the program is to rehabilitate all eight wells within an eight-year period. To date, wells 16, 24 and 31 have been rehabilitated and are back in service. In September 2017, Contract 17-158 was awarded to Municipal Well and Pump in the amount of $365,949 for rehabilitation, equipment replacement and reactivation of Deep Well 20.
DISCUSSION:
Municipal Well and Pump commenced work on November 1, 2017, and is requesting a time extension of 152 days past the April 1, 2018 completion date until August 31, 2018.
This request is the result of specialized electrical equipment used to operate Deep Well 20. The lead time needed to manufacture and deliver the specified equipment is longer than normally expected. The requested 152-day extension will provide sufficient time to manufacture, deliver, install and test the equipment as specified. No major impact on current water operations is anticipated as a result of the time extension.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP: N/A
This change order will have no fiscal impact on the original agreement with Municipal Well and Pump. The recommendation will only extend the agreement’s timeframe.
