�j Elk = - Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and City Council 8.2 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by General Business March 2, 2015 Justin Femrite, P.E., City Engineer Item Description Reviewed by Wastewater Treatment Facility Improvements Tim Simon, Finance Director Change Order Matt Stevens, Chief Operator Reviewed by Cal Portner, City Administrator Action Requested Approve, by motion, Change Order #1 for the Wastewater Treatment Facility Improvement project. Background/Discussion The attached change order and letter from Rice Lake Construction Group detail the request for change to the contract completion date and price. Our project manager, Seth Peterson, and staff have negotiated with Rice Lake Construction Group to limit the time extension and contract increase to a justified amount. The contract time extension will not cause us to miss any timelines for compliance with our discharge permit. Staff supports the recommendation of our project manager to approve Option 1,which adds 138 days to the contract time and $259,991.59 to the contract price. Financial Impact The approved project budget including construction, engineering, testing, utility relocations, and bond issuance at time of bid award was $18,037,050. The change order would increase this project budget by up to $259,991.59 or 1.4 percent. There is the potential that if no other large unforeseen conditions arise, some of this increase will be absorbed in the contingencies already built into the contract. In 2016, near the end of the contract,we will re-evaluate the final costs to determine the appropriate final bond sale amount (if necessary) and adjust the final funding sources to assure that rates will accommodate the increase.
