ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council approve Change Order No. 2 for the 31st Street
& Stillwater Boulevard Watermain Improvements?
BACKGROUND: Miller Excavating, Inc. was awarded a construction contract on May 5, 2020 to
complete the 31st Street & Stillwater Boulevard Watermain Extension. On September 15, 2020 the City
approved Change Order No. 1 to significantly revise the watermain alignment and scope of work in order
to avoid the UPRR crossing and reduce the overall project costs roughly $80,000. The change in project
scope delayed the start of the work until early October, 2020. At this time the work is substantially
completed, except for restoration, with the watermain installed, tested and ready for operation. The six
properties have been notified that they are able to connect to the public watermain and have 1-year to make
the connection. The original project contract had a required substantial completion date of October 31st,
2020 and final completion date of November 13, 2020.
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Miller Excavating, Inc. has requested an extension to the contract
times to complete the restoration work next spring when the weather will allow for the permanent
establishment of vegetation. Staff has reviewed this request and is recommending that the request be
approved to extend the contract times for substantial and final completion by an additional 229 days. The
substantial completion date will change to June 17, 2021 and the final completion date will change to June
30, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no change to the contract amount as part of this change order.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve, as part of the Consent
Agenda, Change Order No. 2 for the 31st Street & Stillwater Boulevard Watermain Improvements. If
removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as follows:
“Move to approve Change Order No. 2 for the 31st Street & Stillwater Boulevard Watermain
Improvements, thereby revising the substantial completion date from October 31, 2020 to June 17,
2020; and revising the final completion date from November 13, 2020 to June 30, 2021”.
