Item No. 15 memorandum TO: City Council John Godwin, City Manager FROM: Shawn Napier, P.E., Director of Engineering, Planning & Development SUBJECT: CHANGE ORDER #1 FOR CONTRACT B1 OF THE 2013 CIP DATE: July 21, 2015 BACKGROUND: Contract B1 of the 2013 Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Program was awarded to B. Bray Construction in the amount of $2,425,002 at the October 13, 2014 City Council meeting. STATUS OF ISSUE: This request involves the request of 93 additional days to be added to the contract time. The majority (60) of the days are due to weather the other days (33) are because of additional work. Some of the additional work involved the contractor installing sewer alongside a fiber optic cable on 19th SW and additional sewer work along NW Loop 286. The change order amount of $18,030 is because it was discovered that a sewer line must be installed by open cut across 19th SW (FM 137) rather than by bore. This will be a longer process because of the TxDOT requirements and will involve closing the road for a few days. BUDGET: This will be funded from the 35- Million Dollar Bond. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Change Order #I to Contract B 1 of the 2013 CIP.
