WORKSHOP ITEMS - NO ACTION WAS TAKEN
Contract Change Order No. 2 to Water Reclamation Facility Equalization Basin
Project Contract
Public Works Director Jim Kelly stated that Construction Change Directives (CCD's) have
been issued on the Water Reclamation Facility Equalization Basin project as issues come up
during construction. This Change Order will close out all open CCDs and add the combined
value of the open CCDs to the contract.
Public Works publicly bid the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Equalization Basin Project
in 2021, and the contract was awarded to McClure and Sons. Due to nationwide supply
chain issues, much of the project was delayed until 2022. In addition to supply issues,
there have been on -site changes made via construction change directive (see attached
Change Order 2 for detail). This Contract Change Order No. 2 amends the contract to
include the authorized extra work. Budgeted funds from 2022 have been carried forward
to 2023, and are available to pay for Change Order No. 2. Discussion followed with Mr. Kelly
answering Council questions.
