MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the Commission
FROM: Jim Hanso
City Manager
SUBJECT: City Mana is Report
Change Order for Wastewater Plant Project; An emergency purchase order which resulted in a change
order was approved on November 8 in the of $15,788.35. This is the cost to re -route a 24 -inch
influent pipe because of a conflict that was discovered with an existing footer for an aeration tank.
Essentially, the existing tank foundation was poured up to and around an existing aeration pipe which
prevented the contractor from connecting to the 24 -inch influent piping line without having to remove
portions of the foundation. A less expensive option of re- routing approximately 25 feet of the 24 -inch
pipe was determined as the best course of action. This was approved on an emergency basis because any
delay would have delayed the job and would probably have resulted in additional costs being due to the
contractor.
This job has a contingency amount established at $238,140. Previous change orders have totaled
$38,766. Once this amount is added, there will be a remaining contingency of $183,585. Generally, the
job is going very smoothly from a contingency standpoint when considering that the contractor is working
around equipment that has been installed through several generations of plant upgrades.
