August 13, 2003
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Neil Kaufman, Water System Engineer
SUBJECT: DONNER LAKE TRACT PIPELINES
CHANGE ORDER #1
AGENDA #
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Directors previously awarded the Contract for construction of the DONNER
LAKE TRACT PIPELINES project to Herbert Suter Construction. The project has been
underway for about 2 months. Construction of all of the main line piping has been
completed and the pipeline passed the pressure test on August 12. 1 am requesting a
Change Order to the Contract for issues covered under three general items that will cover
all of the outstanding issues encountered to date.
Item 1: The Contract contains a rock excavation clause whereby the Contractor is
due additional compensation for performing rock excavation. The Contractor
is due $16,755.50 for rock excavation. Southwest Gas will pay the District
$2,513.33 to cover its portion of the rock excavation.
Item 2: Accurate maps of the roadways and existing utilities were not available for
the Donner Lake Tract. Due to the lack of accurate maps, it was necessary
to install 13 additional elbows that were not shown on the plans in order to
keep the pipe in the roadways, to avoid existing utilities and to maintain
proper separation from the sanitary sewer. The Contractor is due$16,178.72
for installation of these additional elbows.
Item 3: As noted above, accurate maps of the existing roadways and existing utilities
were not available. The Contractor encountered a number of unmarked
water and sewer pipes that required repair along with a 24-inch storm drain.
The Contractor is due $9,974.01 for repair of these utilities.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that the Board authorize Contract Change Order #1, in the amount of a
$42,908.23 payment to Herbert Suter Construction from the District.
