FROM: Philip Porter, Project Manager
SUBJECT:Title
Action: Ratification of Change Order No. 2 for the Island Treatment Plant Metal Storage Building Construction Project with ABCO Builders, Inc. (Phil Porter)
Body
FUNDING SOURCE:
Capital Improvement Plan - Wastewater Utility Fund
PURPOSE:
To consider ratification of Change Order No. 2 for the Island Treatment Plant (ITP) Metal Storage Building Construction Project (Contract 500558) in accordance with City Code §§ 3.10.010.2 (A.R.S. Title 34), 3.10.020.6.B.2, and 3.10.030.1.
BACKGROUND:
On September 11, 2024, sealed bids were opened for the project. On October 8, 2024, the City Council awarded the project to ABCO Builders, Inc.
During the construction of the above-mentioned project, it was determined that building code required the floor of the storage unit to have a pad elevation approximately one (1) foot higher than originally designed. By having to elevate the building one (1) foot, the need arose to construct a ramp into the new facility to allow for a forklift to enter the building to place equipment being stored. A pad was also placed at the pedestrian door opening to meet code requirements for step clearance. There was also some additional asphalt that had to be removed, all of which was not part of the original bid. This represents a 9.4% increase to the contract amount resulting in Change Order No. 2.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
Indoor storage is necessary to protect Lake Havasu assets from the harsh desert climate. These assets include electric pumps, motors, and various electrical gears. The metal storage building is critical for protecting Lake Havasu City assets.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding in the amount of $5,800 for Change Order No. 2 is available in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Plan budget utilizing Wastewater Utility Funds.
ATTACHMENTS:
Change Order No. 2
SUGGESTED MOTION:Recommended ACtion
I move to ratify Change Order No. 2 for the ITP Metal Storage Building Project with ABCO Builders, Inc., in the amount of $5,800.
