REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: 3/25/13 <br /> Item No.: 7.f <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Approve a Resolution to Accept the Work Completed, Authorize Final <br />Payment, and Commence the One-Year Warranty Period on the 2012 <br />Sanitary Sewer Lining Project <br />B <br />ACKGROUND <br />1 <br />On February 27, 2012, the City Council awarded the 2012 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project to Visu- <br />2 <br />Sewer, Inc., of Pewaukee, Wisconsin. The work for this contract was finished in December, 2012, <br />3 <br />and the contractor has requested final payment. This project consisted of 22,351 linear feet of <br />4 <br />sanitary sewer main lining in areas throughout the City identified as having root intrusion or <br />5 <br />infiltration problems. <br />6 <br />PO <br />OLICYBJECTIVE <br />7 <br />City policy requires that the following items be completed to finalize a construction contract: <br />8 <br />Certification from the City Engineer verifying that all of the work has been completed in <br />9 <br />accordance with plans and specifications. <br />10 <br />A resolution by the City Council accepting the contract and beginning the one-year warranty. <br />11 <br />FI <br />INANCIALMPACTS <br />12 <br />The final contract amount, $523,670.20, is $66,509.85 more than the awarded amount of <br />13 <br />$457,160.35. This represents an increase in the contract of 14%. The cost increase is the result of <br />14 <br />two project change orders. Staff identified an additional 2,292 linear feet of sanitary sewer main <br />15 <br />that was in immediate need of lining; this was incorporated into the first change order. The second <br />16 <br />change order involved a contract price adjustment. During the lining process, some segments <br />17 <br />identified as 8-inch pipe were found to be 10-inch pipe. Since the final quantity exceeded the <br />18 <br />estimated quantity, the Contractor reduced the unit price of this contract item. Staff has noted and <br />19 <br />updated record drawings to reflect the changes identified in the field. <br />20 <br />Decisions regarding this additional work needed to be made while the work was being completed, <br />21 <br />not allowing for the processing of a change order prior to the execution of the work. This project <br />22 <br />was funded using sanitary sewer utility funds and Metropolitan Council Environmental Services <br />23 <br />Municipal Inflow and Infiltration Grant funds. <br />24 <br />SR <br />TAFF ECOMMENDATION <br />25 <br />Since all necessary items have been completed in accordance with project plans and <br />26 <br />specifications, staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution accepting the work <br />27 <br />completed as the 2012 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project and authorize final payment of $216,355.41. <br />28 <br />RCA <br />EQUESTEDOUNCILCTION <br />29 <br />Approve the resolution accepting the work completed as 2012 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project, <br />30 <br />starting the one-year warranty and authorizing final payment. <br />31 <br />Prepared by: Kristine Giga, Civil Engineer <br />Attachments: A: Resolution <br /> B: City Engineer Certification <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />
