Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Bob Murray, Project Engineer
Rick Hixson, City Engineer
SUBJECT: 2012 Water Renovations Project – Change Order No. 1.
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2014
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager’s signature on the 2012 Water Renovations Project – Change Order No. 1.
BACKGROUND: At the completion of construction on the project, the contractor submitted a
change order request for several items that had come up during the course of construction. We
disagreed as to the legitimacy of some of the items, and the amount of compensation being
requested on others. In addition to the extra work items, there was also a disagreement on the quantities for two unit priced items. The contractor felt they were due $26,033.89 for the extra work, and $7,338.20 in additional unit price quantities. The City’s position is that the extra work
was worth $12,308.37 and the extra unit priced quantities were not legitimate. After a few
rounds of negotiation, a value of $19,000.00 was agreed upon to resolve all outstanding claims
on the project. Copies of all of the correspondence relating to this matter have been attached for reference.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Overall this change order increases the contract amount by $19,000.00
from $471,232.00 to $490,232.00. The project was originally budgeted at $1,100,000.00.
