BACKGROUND This project is for the cleaning, television inspection, and rehabilitation of approximately 80,000 feet of sanitary sewer mains, plus every service connection served by these main lines. A few months back, we added some additional work to this project due to conflicting piping on El Paso Ave. (12" pipe) and on Main Ave. (21" pipe). The contractor is still awaiting adjustments /clarifications by the telephone company about their conduit runs and other private improvements on City easement in these areas. This change order simply provides more time to work out these issues and complete this work. This change order provides for a 46 day time extension, as allowed under the terms of the contract. The new date of completion will be February 29, 2012. BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT Change Order No. 6 does not change the contract amount. STAFF/EMPLOYEE EFFECT None.
