Explanation
BACKGROUND: The original contract for Parsons Avenue Water Plant Operations Improvements provided for engineering services based on assumptions made in the RFP submittal, before the project was designed. During design, the finished water pumps (from original plant construction) began to fail, requiring removal and rehabilitation. It was determined to be more cost effective, energy efficient, and reliable to replace the existing pumps. In order to maintain reliable pumpage, the design of the replacement was accelerated and broken out as separate construction documents. This modification provides for the additional construction administration services necessary for the expanded scope of services.
CC 329.13 CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS:
1. Amount of additional funds to be expended under this modification: $430,000.00.
2. The extent of additional services provided under Construction Administration are needed due to the expansion of the original scope of services and the addition of another construction project.
3. The work under this contract modification is a continuation of work previously performed by the Consultant, therefore, no other processes were used for procurement of these services.
4. The cost of this modification is based on material and labor, and was negotiated between the Consultant and the City, as documented by the Consultant's quotation letters, and verified by the Project Engineer.
