Utilities Manager Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.
Board, Commission or Committee Recommendation
The Board of Public Utilities approved this agreement at their regular meeting of August 16, 2023 and recommends that Council approve as presented.
Body
The White Rock Water Reclamation Facility has been under construction since March of 2022. The project was originally scheduled to be complete in 18 months, but due to supply chain delays caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, the project is approximately one year behind schedule. The electrical equipment has been most impacted by the pandemic and is the reason the project completion date is now August 2024. The main cut-off switch is the longest lead item driving the schedule.
The majority of the cost associated with this amendment is for construction inspection and engineering support for the prolonged construction schedule. This amendment is summarized below:
Task 06 Engineering Support $108,352.68
Task 07 Construction Management/Inspection $263,435.27
Task 11 Geotechnical Materials Testing $ 39,253.65
Total $411,041.60
Alternatives
The conditions of the Clean Water State Revolving Loan require the design engineer to certify the project was constructed in compliance with the plans and specifications. For this reason, the construction inspection and quality control is provided by the project engineer. If the amendment is not approved, the construction inspection support on the project would end a few months prior to the project completion and an acceptable alternative inspection strategy would have to be developed for this period.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
All of the construction and design costs are funded by a $30 million Clean Water State Revolving Loan. Attachment A has a summary of the project spending to date for both the design and construction.
