SUMMARY
On August 9, 2016, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2016-167 awarding a construction contract to Just Construction, Inc. for the Max Field Pump Station Reconstruction Project, CIP No. SW278. Due to differing site conditions, environmental constraints, and existing utility locations, portions of the wastewater pump station required redesign, resulting in an increased cost to the project exceeding the approved contingencies. The proposed action would appropriate an additional $200,000 above the amount originally approved by Council Resolution No. 2016-167 for additional staff costs and construction change orders. The proposed action would also ratify staff's action approving construction change orders in the amount of $95,000 above the amount originally approved by Council Resolution No. 2016-167 to avoid delays to the project. The proposed action also authorizes the City Engineer to expend all available funds in the project.
