Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing Change Order No. 1 with RJ Construction Company, Inc. for the Westover Park Lift Station and Force Main Improvements Project (WW1801B) in an amount of $98,809.01 for a total increased contract amount of $1,539,684.01 (Director of Budget & Project Management)
Background:
On December 11, 2018, City Council awarded the construction contract for the Westover Park Lift Station and Force Main Improvements Project to RJ Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $1,440,875.00, and authorized a work change directive budget of $187,313.75.

Change Order No. 1 represents design changes and additional scope added to this project. Additionally, during discussion with Public Works, it was identified that the the existing Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is not currently functional. Due to the problematic history, potential cost of the repeated repairs and the age of the equipment, it was determined that the most cost-effective and long-term solution is to replace the ATS. The proposed increase for the ATS and associated work is in the amount of $98,809.01.
With approval of Change Order No. 1, the contract amount will be adjusted as follows:

Change Order No. 1 $ 98,809.01
Adjusted Contract Amount $ 1,539,684.01
The changes to the proposed pumps, control panel and generator did not impact the contract amount but will add 60 calendar days to the schedule. However, this 60-day delay is to reach final completion. The delay to the lift station becoming operational is only 30 days. These delays will not impact the areas served by the lift station. As was originally planned and included in the contract, bypass pumping wil...
