Title
Consideration to Approve the Wastewater Treatment Plant Boiler Replacement Project Change Order.
Body
Action Requested:
Staff recommends a motion to approve Change Order No. 1 for the 2016 Wastewater Treatment Plant Boiler Replacement Project for a total net increase of $9,110.00.
Summary Report:
Staff recommends the City Council approve a motion approving Change Order No. 1 for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Boiler Replacement Project for a total net increase of $9,110.00. The change order is needed to install a sidearm water heater and tank to replace the existing water heater that is leaking. Also, the current water heater uses the existing chimney which will no longer be available for venting due to the new ultra-high efficient boilers using the old chimney. The change order provides communication to the Johnson Controls which is required to properly operate two existing HVAC units. The change order also adds a second circulation pump and valves.
Alternative Options:
The City Council can reject the change order which City staff does not recommend. If the City Council chooses to do so, the Wastewater Treatment Plant will have to install a new chimney for the existing hot water heater and replace the existing water heater.
Financial Impacts:
The total project cost for the original bid and Change Order No. 1 is $35,703.96. The original bid was $26,593.96 with a total budgeted project cost of $75,000.00, which keeps the project under budget.
Tentative Timelines:
The project is required to be completed by November 1, 2016.
