FISCAL IMPACT: $9,604.75 This change order is being processed at the request of the City to revise the scope of work related to site restoration. The City requested the site to be restored with hydroseed instead of the sod
planned in the original contract. Due to the lack of irrigation on the property it was determined that hydroseeding would be the more favorable alternative to obtain an established turf. This change order also addresses additional soil correction work required on the site following the Well Drilling operations. Upon completion of the well drilling operations it was identified
that poor soil conditions existed directly below the Pumphouse footing locations. It was determined that it would be better for the City to have the Pumphouse contractor complete the soil correction work to keep the construction responsibility with one contractor. Therefore this change order provides reimbursement to the Pumphouse Contractor for soil correction completed on the site. The well driller was deducted the cost of site restoration from the well contract.

This change order also extends the contract times for project substantial completion by 42 days;
revising the Substantial Completion date from October 17, 2014 to November 28, 2014, and the Final Completion date from November 21, 2014 to December 19, 2014. This extension accounts for all delays to the contractor experienced to date on the project that were beyond the control of the contractor, including delays from the well drilling contractor demobilizing from the site and
gas and electric service being extended to the site by Xcel Energy. The construction contract
therefore remains within the original total project budget as authorized on February 18, 2014. SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to consider approving, as part of the consent agenda,
Change Order No. 1 for the Pumphouse No. 4 Project, thereby increasing the Contract amount by $9,604.75 and extending the Contract Times for Substantial Completion by 42 days and Final Completion by 28 days. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as follows:
“Move to approve Change Order No. 1 for the Pumphouse No. 4 Project, thereby increasing
the contract amount by $9,604.75 and revising the completion dates.” LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This change order provides compensation to the contractor for the following items: 1. Hydroseed the disturbed areas to establish restoration instead of installing sod. 2. Complete grading, soil correction and compaction measures outside of the scope of the
original contract.
The above described changes were not included in the original contract and result in an increase to the contract of $9,604.75. With this change order the project remains within the authorized project budget and contingencies.
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is respectfully requested to consider approving, as part of the consent agenda, Change Order No. 1 for the Pumphouse No. 4 Project, thereby increasing the Contract amount
by $9,604.75 and extending the Contract Times for Substantial Completion by 42 days and Final
Completion by 28 days. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as follows: “Move to approve Change Order No. 1 for the Pumphouse No. 4 Project, thereby increasing the contract amount by $9,604.75 and revising the completion dates.” ATTACHMENT(S): 1.
