Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the construction contract with Crace Construction Company, Inc. for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Digester Rehabilitation Project. The Crace Construction Company, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $2,000,577. The contract total including this modification is $34,940,977. These additional monies will fund the cost of needed additions to the contract work, which includes electrical improvement modifications, incinerator building piping revisions, and the settlement of the contractors' claims for unforeseen additional special coatings work on the digester covers, repair of concrete in the existing digester overflow pits and increased capacity of steam injectors and other associated costs of needed additions to the contract work that have become necessary to complete the Digester Rehabilitation construction, the total of which would exceed the contract contingency amount. Due to the complex and comprehensive nature of this project, this additional work could not be foreseen, and it is not practical or feasible to undertake a new procurement to deliver these services.
B. Contract Compliance No.: 310957857 (Majority | Expiration 06/17/2010)
C. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is not requested.
