HomeMy WebLinkAboutPR 17691: CHANGE ORDER 10, ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT REHAB MEMORANDUM CITY OF PORT ARTHUR UTILITY OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT TO: Floyd T. Johnson, City Manager FROM: Kelly Eldridge, Director of Utility Operations //pv,,, DATE: May 14, 2013 SUBJECT: Proposed Resolution No. 17691 RECOMMENDATION I recommend that the City Council approve Proposed Resolution No. 17691 authorizing the execution of Change Order No. 10 (Final), and the acceptance of the project for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Rehabilitation Project, Contract No. 5, City Project No. 404WWT with ALLCO, Inc., of Beaumont, Texas, decreasing the contract amount by $38,420.00, and increasing the contract time 14 calendar days, and authoring final payment in the amount of $498,550.72. BACKGROUND The City is completing Phase II of our TCEQ- mandated Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program projects. In Phase I, we spent $15,000,000 in City bond funds, and later appropriated an additional $10,000,000 in City bond funds to pay for Phase II. In 2009, the City acquired a $15,080,000 ARRA grant administered by the TWDB to fund many of the required projects. We awarded around $17,000,000 in contracts for the Phase II projects, using our bond funds to cover the difference. The WWTP rehabilitation project was originally awarded by Resolution No. 09 -512 on November 3, 2009, at $8,141,753 after negotiating and reducing the original bid amount from $9,845,708. This was done by removing several bid items in order to get closer to our ARRA/TWDB grant funding total. However, in order to comply with the TCEQ- enforced Attorney General's Judgment, some of these deleted items (and many others) needed to be addressed. The best method of accomplishing these major work tasks was to include them into our existing contract. As the project progressed and we discovered new deficiencies, it became apparent that we were approaching the 25% change order limit allowed by law, and there were still many additional tasks (including sludge removal) required to comply with the judgment and complete the project. The engineer and the contractor developed a list of items to delete from the existing contract and still complete the bulk of the contracted items until the sludge can be removed from these units. As a part of the Agreed Judgment between the City and the Texas Attorney General's Office/TCEQ Enforcement Division, we were required to have our WWTP's evaluated for deficiencies that have caused, or may cause, violations of our effluent permit. In order to comply with this Judgment/enforcement action, these deleted items will need to be completed under separate contract(s) in the immediate future. We have conducted a Final Inspection of this project and A &G has issued an Engineer's Certificate of Completion, and recommends acceptance and final payment. The contractor has supplied a Contractor's Certificate and Release, and Certificate of Guarantee on the project. BUDGET /FISCAL EFFECT We have already committed all of our available ARRA grant funds on current/completed projects. Therefore, we are utilizing our existing bond funds that we allocated for this work before the grant became available. This final Change Order decreases the contract amount $38,420.00 and increases the contract time 14 days. STAFF /EMPLOYEE EFFECT City staff will continue to operate these facilities to the extent possible until the remainder of the deficiencies can be corrected.
