DEPARTMENT OF WATER MANAGEMENT <br /> Memorandum No. 2010 - 19 <br /> October 12, 2010 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Michael T. McElroy and City Council <br /> FROM: Ryan P. McCrady, City Manager <br /> Keith D. Alexander, Director of Water Management <br /> SUBJECT: Water System Improvements Phase II <br /> Capital Project W06-03 <br /> Change Order No. 1 and Project Completion <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing Water System Improvements Phase II <br /> Contract Change Order No. 1 with Christy-Foltz, Inc. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> In November 2008 Council awarded a $1,796,384 construction contract to Christy-Foltz, Inc. for <br /> this project, which consisted of the following major tasks mostly located at the South Water <br /> Treatment Plant: replacement of a lime slaker, powder activated carbon feed systems, polymer <br /> and polyphosphate mixing and feed systems, removal of the potassium permanganate feed <br /> system, and numerous SCADA, instrumentation and remote site radio system upgrades. <br /> The majority of the tasks were completed by late 2009, however, there were several important <br /> sub tasks that took Christy-Foltz, their subcontractors and suppliers approximately one additional <br /> year to complete. Although inconvenient, this delay did not significantly impact City operations <br /> or our ability to produce high quality drinking water at the South Water Treatment Plant. <br /> In order to properly complete the contract and associated documentation, Christy-Foltz and <br /> Strand Associates, Inc. (the City's consulting engineer for the project) developed the attached <br /> Change Order No. 1 and recommend Council approval, as does City staff. <br /> Approval of the change order will: <br /> 1. Reduce the Cit�s project cost bv $34,923.60. <br /> 2. Extend the contract completion date by 363 days to September 30, 2010. <br /> 3. Properly document that the project was officially completed on September 30, 2010. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: <br /> None foreseen. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> Christy-Foltz, Inc. and Strand Associates, Inc. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: <br /> Keith D. Alexander, Director of Water Management, 424-2863 or kalexander@decaturil.gov <br />
