Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction modification contract with Travco Construction, Inc. (hereafter referred to as Travco) for the Lead Service Line Replacement - Pilot Program project, CIP #690236-100178, in an amount up to $1,000,000.00.
The scope of work for the contract modification is not changing. The contractors will continue to provide the necessary labor and equipment to complete the Lead Service Line Replacement - Pilot Program project.
The Community Planning Area is 99 Citywide.
1.1 TIMELINE: The original project timeline is still in effect. All work shall be complete within 730 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The City issued a Notice to Proceed July 17, 2024.
1.2 ESTIMATED COST OF PROJECT: The bid amount and proposed awarded amount was $2,500,000.00, including a 10% construction contingency amount that will be utilized to fund needed and approved changes in the work.
Modification No. 1 is being proposed as part of this current legislation request. The modification is for $1,000,000.00.
Cost summary:
Original Contract (ORD 1648-2024, PO461754, PO461769) $ 2,500,000.00

Modification No. 1 (Current) $ 1,000,000.00
TOTAL $ 4,000,000.00
This modification was unplanned, but considered beneficial to the City to permit the contractor to continue removing lead from the distribution system. No future modifications are anticipated
1.3 Reason other procurement processes are not used:
