Title
Resolution - A Resolution Authorizing Additional Funding to Plummer Associates, Inc. (Plummer) in the Amount Not to Exceed $75,000.00 to Cover Costs Associated with Special Services for the Clearwell #4 Project (Utility Construction Fund)
Requested Action
Consider the Resolution authorizing additional funding.
Recommendation
Utility Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.
Description/History
On July 9th of 2018, Council authorized an engineering services contract with Plummer for construction administration services related to the construction of Clearwell #4. In section V and VIII of the contract, Special Services are included to allow for additional services not described in the original scope or deemed necessary by the City during the project's construction.
The $75,000 is included in the contract under special services but was not funded with the original resolution. This resolution authorizes the additional funding within the engineering services contract.
Justification
Several things are driving the need for the additional funds,
• Construction Change order #1 included the addition of tube settlers to the project.
• Original scope included 165 contractor submittals; to date, there have been 258 needing 3,4,5 or more iterations to finalize. Anticipate 30 more submittals to reach completion.
• Clearwell #4 project is behind schedule by roughly four months. We will need Plummer for additional time to bring the project to completion.
The proposed budget for additional funding is detailed in the chart below.
