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 $472,884.00. The contract total including this modification is $37,255,145.00. These additional monies will fund the Final Payment of this contract, which includes all RFPs and other associated costs to the contract work that have become necessary to complete the Digester Rehabilitation construction, the total of which would exceed the contract contingency amount. Additional funds are required due to an error in closing out the project loan funds too early; the funds requested are not cumulative to the total project cost since they were procured under Modification 2.

The proposed contract modification provides authorization for needed monies for any anomalies in the current and future work that may become evident as the work progresses for the S66 contract. It is not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entity currently under contract and undertake continuation of these services with another procurement. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis.

The original contract with Crace Construction Company, Inc. was for the Southerly Waste Water Treatment Plant facilities for the rehabilitation of the six existing sludge digester tanks; construction of three new sludge digester tanks; installation of new process equipment including piping, valves, pumps, grinders, mixing systems, and boilers; rehabilitation of the existing Sludge Control Building; and demolition of process facilities that are to be replaced or are no longer needed.
