Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities Approve Amendment No. 1 to Task Order 95, AGR16-044 with Parker Construction, LLC in the amount of $16,259.33, plus NMGRT in the amount of $1,168.64, for a total of $17,427.97.
Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board approve the motion as presented.
Body
On October 20, 2021, the Utility Board approved Task Order No. 95, AGR16-044 with Parker Construction, LLC. to trench and install 4" conduits, switch vaults and junction boxes in White Rock. The work took place this past summer and fall on Cheryl, Connie and Aragon Streets in White Rock. The additional cost incurred was $17,427.97. The additional costs were due to rock excavation and the need to haul the asphalt and concrete waste to Espanola for disposal. Both were unforeseen conditions, as the Eco Station discontinued accepting asphalt and concrete waste since the prior approval. We bring this amendment after the fact to the Utility Board to ratify the additional budget needed to comply with procurement requirements and provide a transparent record of the project costs.
Alternatives
If the amendment is not approved payment cannot be made to contractor.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
Funding for this amendment is from approved FY2023 capital funds in the electric distribution fund. The total project cost, including this amendment, is $113,842.50, which includes gross receipts tax.
