Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Shook Heavy & Environmental Group for the Dublin Road Water Plant Disinfection and Miscellaneous Improvements Project; in the amount of $13,026,273.12; to transfer $3,231,964.66 from the Water System Reserve Fund to the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund; and to amend the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget.

The Engineer's Estimate prepared by Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. was $14,400,000.00. The 2008 Capital Improvements Budget includes $9,000,000 for this project. This amount was last reviewed and confirmed by Malcolm Pirnie approximately six (6) months ago. They updated the Engineer's Estimate for the project based on the changes in the last 6 months and from updated vendors quotes. The major items that have increased in price are:

· Electrical estimate doubled to a current $700,000.00 due to price escalation in materials.
· Replacement of the Rectangular Butterfly Valves increased $600,000 due to escalation in materials (the last quote was received approximately a year ago).
· Offsite trucking of the last two feet of clearwell liquid adds about $500,000.00.
· Increased unit price quantities of the repair items in the sedimentation basins and clearwells about 20% to account for extra repair areas since the last repair survey was performed more than two years ago. This added about $650,000.00.
· Price escalations in concrete, steel, hand railing and other items added approximately $400,000.00 since the last estimate update about 6 months ago.

The total of these items is $2,850,000.00. Adding 10% General Contractor OH and Profit plus 15% Subcontractor OH and Profit and 15% Force Account puts the total increase to the estimate about $4,150,000.00.
