l�'�, <br />Jy <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Department Approval <br />� <br />Date: 12/21/09 <br />Item No.: 7.1 <br />City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Adopt a Resolution to Accept the Work Completed, Authorize Final <br />Payment of $197,571.20 and commence the One-Year Warranty Period on the 2009 Sanitary <br />Sewer Lining Project. <br />BACKGROUND <br />On August 10, 2009 the City Council awarded the 2009 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project to <br />Insituform Technologies USA, Inc., of Chesterfield, Missouri. The work for this contract was <br />finished in December, and the contractor has requested final payment. This project consisted of <br />6,836 lineal feet of sanitary sewer main lining in areas throughout the City identified as having <br />root intrusion or infiltration problems, as well as 75 lineal feet of storm sewer lining. <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />City policy requires that the following items be completed to finalize a construction contract: <br />• Certification from the City Engineer verifying that all of the work has been completed in <br />accordance with plans and specifications. <br />• A resolution by the City Council accepting the contract and beginning the one-year warranty. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />The final contract amount, $197,571.20, is $21,702.20 more than the awarded amount of <br />$175,869. This represents an increase in the contract of 12%. The cost increase is the result of <br />the actual lined length of sanitary sewer being more than the estimated length. There was one <br />change order to the project. After the project began, staff identified an additional 891 lineal feet <br />of sanitary sewer main that was in immediate need of lining. Decisions regarding this additional <br />work needed to be made while the work was being completed, not allowing for the processing of <br />a change order prior to the execution of the work. The Change Order is listed below: <br />Change Order 1 Additional 891 lineal feet of sewer lining and reopening 17 $ 24,082.20 <br />service connections. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Since all necessary items have been completed in accordance with project plans and <br />specifications, staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution accepting the work <br />completed as the 2009 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project and authorize final payment of <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
