It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 1 to City Secretary No. 33930 with Humphrey

DISCUSSION:
On September 25, 2007, (M&C C-22405) the City Council approved a Contract with Humphrey and Morton
Construction Company, Inc., in the amount of $510,268, for minor miscellaneous channel improvements on
Arrowwood Channel from Debbie Street to 200 feet northeast, Mercado Channel from Northeast 20th Street
to 250 feet northeast and Cottonwood Creek from Morrison Drive to Cooks Lane.
This project provided for repair to the channel banks. However, the heavy rainfall event of the past months
caused additional segments of the channel to erode necessitating repairs.
Staff considers the proposed change order amount to be fair and reasonable.
The project is located in MULTIPLE COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
