MEETING DATE: August 2, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 4271 authorizing the City Manger to sign
Change Order #10 for the Lower Yard Vehicle Maintenance and HRDC Bus Barn to add
the cost of installing a concrete cap to plug an old abandoned clay pipe that was directing
ground water into an excavation pit, (CP #24), $1,960.75; and add three additional steel bollards
to protect the building from potential vehicle damage, (CP #27), $779.63. The total is $2,740.38
of which the city will pay half, $1,370.19.
BACKGROUND: The lower yard site is the location of the old city wastewater treatment
plant. The amount of activity on the site over the years, coupled with the fact that when the plant
was abandoned there was a good deal of the infrastructure that was abandoned on-site has lead to
some unplanned additional work. The two main issues that have impacted the site to date are the
abandoned infrastructure and the disturbed soils on the site that are not suitable for quality sub-
grade compaction. With these factors in mind the construction contingency allocated for this
project was increased to cover the potential for problems that might be uncovered during
construction.
During the excavation of the area where the collection and storage tank for the storm water
collection system is located, a large clay pipe was unearthed. The pipe was in the middle of the
pit and was cut to accommodate the installation of the tank. The pipe was not on any of the
city’s sewer records. Both ends of the pipe were draining into the pit. Pumping the water during
construction was not adequate to address the flow and it was also determined that as the pipe
continued to carry water that the integrity of the tank base could be compromised.

The consultant engineer in conjunction with the contractor devised a plan to fill the pipe opening
on both sides with poured in place concrete, which the engineer approved. The cost for this
change includes the grout, the placement and concrete pumping costs.
The second portion of this change order involves the installation of some additional steel bollards
near some of the building entrances to protect the structural integrity of the building. Now that
there is more construction on site it is easier to see exactly how the various building features are
arranged. During one of the construction meeting walk throughs the building protection was
discussed with the vehicle maintenance staff. The additional bollards were seen as a positive
addition that would help protect the building. The additional bollards were added as an owner
initiated change.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: No others related to this proposed Change Order.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The two items on this change order fall under the category of an
unanticipated site condition and an owner initiate change. These costs will be covered under the
construction contingency portion of the budget. The summary of activity and charges against
this fund are shown below.
