Title
Ordinance amending the 2017-18 budget for Meadow Park raw water pump generator
Body
SUMMARY: City staff approached Trinity Contracting Services Co., LLC with pricing for the replacement of the third and last generator at the Meadow Park water filtration plant. Their proposal is attached and a draft change order is attached. The Contractors price is half of the original bid plus $10,000. The original bid was for two generators. The additional $10,000 is required because the generator will be moved to a new location and the Contractor will be required to build a new electrical feed into the building. A buy back credit, in the proposal, is being given by the Contractor for the old generator at an amount of $6,500. The third generator was not included in the budget.
The original engineering contract for the water filtration improvements was originally set up for one project. We have broken this down into two projects (generator project being one) which has required two bidding processes. We believe that this will push the engineering budget over by $12,000. The Director of Engineering recommends an amendment for J.R. Wauford & Company in the amount of $8,000 (Lump Sum) for bidding services and $4,000 (hourly) for additional construction administration.
We believe the generator pad work to be performed by the Street Department and the division of the projects will yield a savings between $60,000 and $80,000. This actual number will be reported later when the pads have been constructed.
BUDGET ACCOUNT: Not budgeted
Recommended Action
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION: Approve budget amendment in the amount of $138,942.
