E.,Director of Engineering& Infrastructure�J-�� <br /> Matthew C. Newell, P. E., City Engineer��! <br /> Doug R. Nooden, P.E., Assistant City Engineer �t¢nt <br /> SUBJECT: Amendment to Water Main Extension Heritage Road <br /> City Project 03-25 <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing a change <br /> order to the Water Main Extension Heritage Road, City Project 03-25, in the amount of <br /> $107,644.00 for the construction of a water main to service Ferris Drive and Green View Drive. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> On April 5, 2004, the City Council authorized a $253,571.75 contract with Bodine Services to <br /> complete water main extension work along Heritage Road south of Decatur. This work is <br /> currently underway. Due to the overwhelming interest by the residents in the subdivision located <br /> on Ferris Drive and Greenview Drive (presently not in City limits) to obtain City water, the <br /> Engineering Division proposes to add water main installation on Ferris Drive and Greenview <br /> Drive to City Project 03-25, currently being prosecuted by Bodine Services. <br /> Bodine Services has supplied unit prices to install 2,920 lineal feet of 8 inch water main and <br /> appurtenances for the proposed Ferris Drive and Greenview Drive water line extension. These ' <br /> unit prices have been reviewed by City Engineering and found to be within the normally <br /> expected cost for water main work of this type. Prices for construction materials have been <br /> rising steadily nationwide due to a large volume of overseas demand. <br /> Allowing Bodine Services to add this work to their current contract will allow the proposed , <br /> extension to occur yet this year and will capitalize on the fact that their forces are currently ', <br /> mobilized in the area. This authorization will also significantly reduce the staff time necessary to <br /> complete a full set of plans and specifications and bid out the project. <br /> _� <br />
