Explanation
Background:
This ordinance will authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to modify the contract with TFH-EB, Inc. dba The Waterworks for construction services related to the Goodale Park Well Installation Project in the amount of $5,667.65. The project involved the installation of one (1) well including all power and water lines to connect the well to the pond and for the installation of water lines and hose bibs. The cost of the project included all permit and water fees. Unforseen issues have necessitated an increase in man hours thus resulting in this modification.
When the contractor was attempting to bore for the underground piping some unforseen circumstances arose which made it necessary for the contractor to dig a trench for the pipe. In addition, the disturbed area required grading and seeding as well as removing the existing meter pit. All of these items required additional man hours by the contractor. The project has exceeded the original contract amount of $40,000.00. The amount of this modification is $5,667.65 bringing the total modified contract cost to $45,667.65.
The Contract Compliance Number for TFH-EB, Inc. dba The Waterworks is #31-1162504 and the contract compliance is effective through 12/22/08.
Emergency action is requested so that the work can be completed on the current contract.
Fiscal Impact:
Voted 1999/2004 Bond Fund; Fund No. 702; OCA Code 644526; Object Level 3, 6621; Project No. 510017.
