HomeMy WebLinkAboutApprove Resolution No.4170, Alteration of Contract with Williams Brother Co., Change Order No. 1 WRF, Phase 1
Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Bob Murray, Project Engineer
Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Bozeman Water Reclamation Facility, Phase 1 Improvements – Change
Order No. 1
MEETING DATE: 5/26/2009
RECOMMENDATION: Motion and vote to approve and authorize City Manager to sign the
change order.
BACKGROUND: Attached is a copy, of change order number 1 for the above referenced
project. This Change Order covers substituting stainless steel mechanisms for the two secondary
clarifiers and the fermenter in lieu of steel as specified in the contract documents. The reason for
making this change is that the substitution provides for long term maintenance cost savings for
the facility (See attached memo for life cycle cost analysis). Stainless steel is not normally
specified in this type of application as historically the costs have been too high, due to a number
of factors the stainless steel option is favorably priced at this time. Please refer to the attached
Change Order No. 1 and Change Proposal Request No. 007 for a detailed listing of the involved
items and costs. No increase in contract time is being provided with this change.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Overall this change order increases the contract amount by $18,000.00
from $36,362,223.00 to $36,380,223.00. This will reduce the contingency on the project from
$4,172,000.00 to $4,154,000.00. The Substantial and Final Completion Contract Times are not
changed. The final recommended increase in cost and time extension for this change is
reasonable and commensurate with the work involved.
ALTERNATIVES: Disapprove
