Title
Approval of Miller Avenue Sewer Line Change Order
Body
SUMMARY: The contractor has exposed the existing casing under Miller Avenue. The casing is a 16 inch casing and the outside diameter of the new sewer force main is 13.2 inches which leaves an 1.4 inch even space between the two pipes. Spacers cannot be installed in this small area and we do not want to install the line with out spacers because the sewer line could be deeply scratched when installed and cause future breaks.
The Contractor, Engineer and City Staff have decided that it is in the best long-term interest of the City to rebore Miller Avenue with a new casing for the new sewer line. This eliminates the need for the temporary bypass and loading of the existing casing as shown on the attached Change Order 1.
The Director of Engineering recommends the approval of the attached change order in the amount of $10,750.
