Title
Discussion and action regarding Brookhaven and Highland Lane Water Line Replacement Project
Body
SUMMARY: Currently all unit price items have been completed on this project. The Contractor is working on final cleanup. The total of all the unit price items including changes is estimated to be $83,384 less than our full contract price.
The Contractor has asked if the City would like to replace additional lines so that he can get the full contract value. The smallest line replacement segment the Engineering Department could find in the project area is a 1260 feet segment along Glenwood Circle in Highland East Subdivision.
Utilizing the unit price values for the contract for this addition the total estimated cost is
$129,225.00. If the City bores the road for services and supplies the Contractor with meter yokes, corporation stops and saddles, the estimated cost is $113,625.00.
In an effort to help the City with our line replacement program, the contractor has offered to cut his profit margin and perform this work for the remaining monies in the contract which is estimated to be $83,384. He also has requested a 45 day extension with this change.
The Director of Engineer request that the City Council approve the 1260-foot line replacement on Glenwood Circle as a change order for the lump sum price of the remaining funds in the contract and approve the 45 day contract extension.
A formal closeout change order will be on the July Council Meeting agenda to document this contract change and zero out the unit price items.

Recommended Action
