BACKGROUND This project is part of the City's on-going maintenance program to replace aging underground water facilities that have a potential for breakage and leaks. This project was high on the City's priority list due to the poor condition of the existing 12" asbestos cement pipe water main installed in the early 1960's and the timing of the upcoming resurfacing project along Johnson Drive. On September 3, 2013, City Council awarded the construction contract to Mozingo Construction, Inc in the amount of $547,357. The City Council also authorized the Director of Community Development to approve and execute required contract change orders to address unanticipated project conditions for a not-to-exceed amount of $82,105. DISCUSSION There were five construction change orders issued for the project resulting in a net decrease of $8,796.53 which is approximately 1.6% of the original contract amount. Change orders included: reimbursement for the delay caused by unmarked utilities; thicker AC pavement sections encountered at some of the trenches; swap out of a new 6" tee with an 8" tee due to incorrect pipe size shown on previous record drawings; the installation of mechanical joint sleeves at all siphon locations; and line item quantities generally less than originally estimated. Total project expenditures are $561,796 (see Attachment 1, for Funding and Expenditure Summary). A total unspent balance of $358,204 is remaining and staff recommends this balance be returned to the Water Replacement Fund balance. All of the contract work has been completed to the City's satisfaction. This project is now complete and ready for City Council acceptance.
